Abstract

The second quantum revolution facilitates engineering of new classes of sensors, communication techniques and computers with unprecedented capabilities. Supply chains for quantum technologies are emerging, some focussed on commercially available components for enabling technologies and/or quantum-technologies research infrastructures, others with already somewhat higher technology-readiness levels.

Standardisation is of paramount importance to facilitate the growth of new technologies and the development of efficient and effective supply chains. The uniforming of technology, methodologies, interfaces and other enable interoperable products, innovation and competition, all leading to structuring and hence growth of markets. As quantum technologies are maturing, time has come to start thinking about further standardisation needs.

This article presents insights on standardisation for quantum technologies from the perspective of the CEN-CENELEC Focus Group on Quantum Technologies (FGQT), which was established mid-2020 to coordinate and support the development of standards relevant for European industry and research.
