The fifth DSI Strategy Lab deals with the topic of quantum technology. It assesses the status and possible future scenarios of quantum technologies and formulates recommendations. The results of the Strategy Lab can now be read in the newly published position paper.
It has been 100 years since the discovery of quantum mechanics. In view of this anniversary and the United Nations’ “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology”, the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) of the University of Zurich (UZH) held its fifth DSI Strategy Lab on this topic.
The Strategy Lab aims to assess the status and possible futures of quantum technologies and formulate recommendations on what decisions need to be made – by industry, politics and education.
The results of the fifth Strategy Lab have now been summarized in a newly published position paper. This provides realistic assessments of expected technical developments and reflects on their potential social impact. The focus is on computer technology, communication technology and sensor technology. The position paper also formulates recommendations for Swiss science and technology policy – with a view to Switzerland’s position in the global quantum race.
Further information on the fifth DSI Strategy Lab and the position paper are available here.
The position paper will also be presented at the UZH Quantum Century Symposium on June 27.
