The European Commission, together with the members of the High-Level Forum on European Standardization (HLF), consider Quantum as a priority policy. Therefore, they decided to give this topic a separate space for political and technical discussions in the framework of the newly opened Workstream 16.
Quantum Technology is a promising field in the development of skills to navigate the digital transition. To steer work on standardization in this rapidly advancing field, CEN and CENELEC recently published two important documents: a Standardization Roadmap and a report on Quantum Technologies Use Cases. The two documents provide a comprehensive vision on the European standardization needs for quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum metrology.
