Building a Quantum Ecosystem

Develop a long-term strategy for a country seeking to build strength in quantum science and technology. Assess the roles of universities, public research funding, startups, established industries, skilled workers, computing infrastructure, and international partnerships. Distinguish near-term applications from speculative promises, and identify risks such as talent shortages, unequal access, and overconcentration of investment. Recommend priorities and measurable milestones for a resource-conscious national plan.
