Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is almost doubling the annual budget of the research initiative Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology, WACQT, based at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. This will allow the centre to shift up a gear and set even higher goals - especially in its development of a quantum computer. Two international workshops will kick-start this new phase. Quantum technology has enormous potential and it is important that Sweden has the necessary skills in the area. During the short time since the center was founded, WACQT has built up a qualified research environment, established collaborations with Swedish industry and succeeded in developing qubits with proven problem-solving ability. We can look ahead with great confidence at what they will go on to achieve, says Peter Wallenberg Jr, Chair Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
