The effort stems from the nation\u2019s quantum technology strategic plan, which President Emmanuel Macron started one year ago. The plan earmarked 1.8 billion euros ($2 billion) to develop quantum technologies between 2021 and 2025, with the state providing 1 billion euros ($1.13 billion). The remaining funds will come from a mix of industry programs, European funding, and relevant startup investments. Leaders hope to create about 16,000 new jobs within this sector by 2030, per the French government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An initial 70 million euros ($61.9 million) and up to 170 million euros ($150.2 million) will enable the new \u201chybrid quantum computing\u201d platform to interconnect traditional systems and quantum computers, according to a French government statement. Those systems will then be available for an international community of research institutions, start-ups and industry partners to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform itself will be managed by France\u2019s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA), and housed at the country\u2019s Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission\u2019s (CEA) military tech-focused facilities in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaders representing multiple French government ministries participated in the half-day event on Tuesday. Mastering quantum technology is an \u201cabsolutely strategic interest\u201d for France\u2019s national defense, said Defense Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/2021\/12\/06\/french-defense-minister-shifting-from-a-new-frontier-to-a-new-front\/\">Florence Parly<\/a> in a virtual address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone can imagine the benefits of autonomous navigation, without the need for GPS, which is possible with some quantum technologies,\u201d she said. \u201cWe know that this will be decisive in tomorrow\u2019s conflicts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quantum-based sensors would eventually deliver \u201cunparalleled\u201d levels of precision for sophisticated weapon and navigation systems that would no longer need to rely on satellite signals, but could function by measuring the \u201ctiny variations in the Earth\u2019s gravity,\u201d Parly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The communications domain is also a key area of military interest for quantum computers, including breaking cryptographic algorithms for intelligence purposes, she added. While Parly acknowledged that that concept remains theoretical for now, she said France is ready \u201cto face it someday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France is eager to become a thriving hub for quantum technology and computing companies. Atos, a French-based information technology company, sees value in quantum computing to more quickly and efficiently support high-performance computing, said Philippe Duluc, chief technology officer for Atos\u2019 big data and security portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMoore\u2019s Law is slowing down; we are reaching the limits of the density of chips,\u201d he said during Tuesday\u2019s launch event. \u201cFor that reason, we have to find another way to speed up computing. One of these ways is quantum computing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Pasqal, a Paris-based quantum technology startup partially funded by the French Ministry of Defense, will merge with a yet-unnamed European software company \u201cto strengthen our position in this field,\u201d said CEO Georges Olivier Reymond on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European quantum computer builder IQM announced last month that it would open its fourth continental office in Paris. The company\u2019s chief of products, Bjorn Potter, lauded France for having \u201cgained a lot of momentum in accelerating quantum programs\u201d as a major factor in their decision to set up shop there. IQM built a quantum fabrication facility in Espoo, Finland, and also holds offices in Munich and in Bilbao, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hosting the platform at CEA\u2019s military facilities will be \u201ca real asset\u201d to attracting defense industrial partners to the quantum world, Parly said. \u201cWe need to federate a quantum community \u2026 of start-ups, large groups, scientists and researchers to appropriate these new capacities, to test their limits in their respective fields of interest and to disseminate the new methods.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mastering quantum technology is an \u201cabsolutely strategic interest\u201d for France\u2019s national defense, said Defense
