Via Basma AlBuhairan and Arunima Sarkar in weforum.org: Quantum technology, based on quantum mechanics principles, promises transformative capabilities in computation, communication and sensing. These capabilities can lead to breakthroughs across multiple domains, including secure communication networks, advanced materials discovery, improved climate modelling and more efficient drug development. Acknowledging these immense benefits, Saudi Arabia is actively integrating the Forum’s Quantum Economy Blueprint to support in positioning the Kingdom among global leaders as it formulates a comprehensive national quantum roadmap. Saudi Arabia’s quantum priorities span multiple areas, including talent development, research and development, hardware innovation, commercialization and raising awareness, reflecting a multi-faceted approach to building a robust quantum ecosystem.
