Germany is set to invest €3 billion ($3.25 billion) in constructing a universal quantum computer by 2026, aiming to position itself at the forefront of quantum developments in the European Union. The quantum computer will have a minimum capacity of 100 qubits, potentially expanding to 500 qubits. This hefty funding includes €2.2 billion ($2.38 billion) allocated across different government ministries and an additional €800 million ($866 million) for national research institutes. German companies like Bosch, Trumpf, and Infineon are already engaged in quantum technology and are contributing to the broader quantum ecosystem. The initiative seeks to elevate Germany’s technological sovereignty, with the goal of having at least 60 active quantum computing end-users by 2026 and achieving a leading position within the EU.
