US quantum initiatives: from R&D to innovation

Celia I. Merzbacher

The US National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018 established a multi-agency program that aims to advance quantum information science (QIS) and promote application and commercialization. Agencies including the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Air Force, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are growing their investments. The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) is an industry-driven consortium supported by NIST and more than 185 corporations, universities and other organizations to enable and grow the quantum industry and supply chain. This presentation will provide an overview of US NQI programs, especially those with a focus on innovation and economic benefit.

Commercialisation of Quantum Technology: Panel Discussion

Sara Diegoli, Simon Bennett, Timothy P. Spiller +3 more

The UK National Quantum Technology Programme was launched in 2017 and was the first example of a nationally coordinated initiative bringing together academia, industry and government to accelerate development and commercialisation of quantum technologies. The programme, now in its second phase and worth £1B (~$1.25B), has also inspired the creation of other national initiatives across the globe, including the $1.2B US National Quantum Initiative. According to the latest statistics available, between 2017 and 2018 companies active in quantum technology raised more than $450M in private equity funding. This amount of investment and the burgeoning activity in this field is expected to produce game-changing technology, but the question remains: when and where will this happen first? Join us to hear expert perspectives from those at the frontiers of quantum technology and its commercialization, as well as informed commentary on the trends emerging in this fast-changing arena. Learn how industry leaders are addressing the challenges of this exciting new arena and identifying opportunities to grow their business.

KSC Learnings for the Global South from QuantumEAGLe

Syed Muntasir Mamun

The launch of the Quantum Ecosystem Advancement, Growth & Leadership (QuantumEAGLe) initiative by the U.S. National Security Agency's Laboratory for Physical Sciences and the DEVCOM Army Research Office in June 2026 marks a significant evolution in advanced-economy quantum policy. Framed as an industrial-base and dual-use programme in support of Executive Order 14413, QuantumEAGLe prioritises fault-tolerant quantum computing, sovereign supply chains, commercial roadmaps, and foundational research under security-agency stewardship. This paper examines the programme's strategic logic and extracts structured learnings for Global South states and institutions. It argues that QuantumEAGLe illustrates both the accelerating concentration of quantum capabilities among a small set of actors and the policy instruments—flexible contracting, supply-chain mapping, error-correction focus, and public–private alignment—that middle-income and developing countries must adapt, albeit at different technological readiness levels. Key implications include the urgency of post-quantum cryptography migration, the value of selective technology diplomacy, the risks of talent and standards exclusion, and the potential for South–South cooperation and open-science pathways to mitigate a deepening quantum divide. The analysis concludes with a set of actionable recommendations for national policy, regional institutions, and multilateral forums.
