The world is on the verge of a quantum technology revolution, with extremely powerful computers, intercept-proof communications and hyper-sensitive measuring instruments in sight. Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology is a 12 year SEK 1 billion research effort that aims to take Sweden to the forefront of this very rapidly expanding area of technology. Through an extensive research programme, we aim at developing and securing Swedish expertise within the main areas of quantum technology: quantum computing and simulation, quantum communications and quantum sensing. Our main project is to develop a quantum computer that can solve problems far beyond the reach of the best conventional supercomputers.

Watch the film about the creation of a quantum computer at Chalmers!
This quantum computer is part of the 100 million-plus-dollar project WACQT - Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology. The research is underway now at several universities in Sweden and is led by Per Delsing at Chalmers University of Technology where the computer itself is built.

Apply for WACQT industrial PhD or postdoc projects 2024
The Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology (WACQT) invites small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to submit applications for industrial PhD or industrial postdoc projects. In total, approximately three projects will be funded during the call with the goal of strengthening collaborations between WACQT and the industry, especially with small and medium-sized companies that develop enabling technologies of strategic relevance for the WACQT program.
