BT: UK's next phase of quantum progress hinges on network build | Computer Weekly
"After decades of research and experimentation, quantum is shifting from discovery to deployment, and the coming year will be critical for stepping up delivery on a world‑class quantum network by 2035, according to a research note by BT. Furthermore, said Gabriela Styf Sjoman, the firm's managing director of research and network strategy, the UK's next phase of quantum progress hinges on building quantum-ready and quantum-secure networks."
""As exciting and extraordinary as quantum computers, sensors and devices are - on their own, they are isolated," said Styf Sjoman. "Their true value is unlocked only when they are connected - to each other, to users, to data, and to the wider digital ecosystem. Just as AI required cloud infrastructure and electric vehicles needed charging networks, quantum technologies need networks that are both quantum secure and quantum ready. This is the foundation of the UK's future quantum economy.""
Quantum is shifting from discovery to deployment, making the coming year critical for stepping up delivery on a world-class quantum network by 2035. The UK's next phase of quantum progress hinges on building quantum-ready and quantum-secure networks. Building a world-class quantum network by 2035 would provide secure infrastructure to connect quantum technologies and enable real-world applications. UK Research and Innovation mapped a £38.6bn budget with £1bn committed to quantum for 2026–30. Global momentum for quantum technologies is building fast with emerging quantum computers, rising investment and early valuable applications. Networks that are both quantum secure and quantum ready are foundational to the future quantum economy.
