🌍 Headline: From Lab Toys to National Infrastructure: Quantum Goes Geopolitical
Recent developments:
-
Singapore’s National Quantum Office + Quantinuum: partnership to host Helios hardware and build a quantum hub in Asia.
-
IonQ + University of Chicago: establishing a center to accelerate quantum hardware, networking, and real-world applications.
-
Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA): renewed for another 5 years to push trapped ions, neutral atoms, and superconducting platforms toward practical devices.
Why it matters
-
Quantum is now national infrastructure, not a side project.
-
Funding, talent, regulation, and standardization will increasingly orbit these hubs.
Strategic angle
-
For users & vendors: align products with these ecosystems (APIs, compliance, integrations).
-
For content: great opportunity for PostQuantumApps to track “quantum geopolitics” as an ongoing series.
