24 projects selected in the competition for international research projects in quantum technologies, organised by the QuantERA consortium, as many as 8 will be implemented with the participation of Polish teams. “Polish scientists will undertake research into the quantum nature of the environment, quantum simulators, quantum cryptography and the potential of resources responsible for calculations used in quantum computers”, informs the National Science Centre.

“Projects implemented with the participation of Polish scientists are
