Quantum physics seems weird at first – things can be at more than one place at the same time, observation changes the observed object, nothing can be predicted with certainty. It describes with great success the world of the ultrasmall – single particles and indivisible units of light and radiation. This is why we find it unusual, it is a world we do not see in our daily lives, so we do not have an intuition for it at first. Yet, it can be understood and modeled and it turns out that the predictions of quantum physics are true.

The Quantum Flagship is a large-scale initiative funded at the 1b € level on a 10 years timescale. It consists in a coherent set of research and innovation projects selected through a thorough peer-review process. Calls for projects are issued based on the Flagship’s Strategic Research Agenda, thus ensuring that all actors are aligned in the pursue of the Flagship’s goals. The goal is to consolidate and expand European scientific leadership and excellence in this research area, to kick-start a competitive European industry in Quantum Technologies and to make Europe a dynamic and attractive region for innovative research, business and investments in this field.

To find out more about the Quantum Flagship, its goals, objectives, work groups, milestones, etc, visit the website, the portal that will aime to communicate all these actions to society in order to raise awareness about the importance of quantum technologies in the development of future disruptive technologies.
