The world is on the verge of a quantum technology revolution, with extremely powerful computers, intercept-proof communications and hyper-sensitive measuring instruments in sight. Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology is a 12 year SEK 1 billion research effort that aims to take Sweden to the forefront of this very rapidly expanding area of technology. Through an extensive research programme, we aim at developing and securing Swedish expertise within the main areas of quantum technology: quantum computing and simulation, quantum communications and quantum sensing. Our main project is to develop a quantum computer that can solve problems far beyond the reach of the best conventional supercomputers.

What is quantum technology?
It's about using the properties of small particles to create new technology. Quantum technology has the potential to revolutionize many areas, from medicine to cybersecurity.
Creation of a quantum computer.
This quantum computer is part of the 100 million-plus-dollar project WACQT - Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology. The research is underway now at several universities in Sweden and is led by Göran Johansson at Chalmers University of Technology where the computer itself is built.
