Quantum computers made of superconducting circuits could be the first to outpace conventional computers

The first phase of Europe’s decade-long, billion-euro program to turn its quantum technology research into commercial products has come into focus. At an event held in Vienna on 29 October, the European Union announced that the first €132 million of its quantum flagship initiative will be split between 20 continent-wide consortia over the next three years to develop new kinds of quantum sensors, communications, and computers.
