Quantum technology will revolutionise many industrial sectors, and will already begin spawning new, nationally significant business and research opportunities over the next few years. Advancements in quantum technology and, in particular, the technological leap afforded by quantum computers – aka the quantum leap – will enable unprecedented computing power and the ability to solve problems that are impossible for today’s supercomputers. 

VTT is a member of leading European research projects (OpenSuperQ, QMiCS) as well as national initiatives (e.g. Quantum Technology Finland). We master and mix superconducting, photonic, and semiconducting technology platforms and our goal is to become a leading foundry to produce quantum chips and to provide the full spectrum of quantum services including quantum computing and its practical use cases. 

Recently, VTT has launched a project to acquire Finland’s first quantum computer, with 20.7 million euros granted by the Finnish government for the purpose. The aim of the project is to strengthen the competitiveness on Finland and Europe in a rapidly developing field and to create Europe’s leading ecosystem for the development and application of quantum technology in Finland together with companies, universities and research institutes.
