In April 2020, the Technical Boards of CEN and CENELEC have set up a Focus Group on Quantum Technologies (QT). The secretariat of the Focus Group is held by DIN. The Focus Group held its first kick-off meeting virtually on 18 June 2020.
The Focus Group ensures the interaction between relevant stakeholders interested in identifying standardization needs in the field of Quantum Technologies and recommends further actions to ensure that standards support the deployment of such technologies in industry.
The Focus Group has been created building on the results of the joint workshop “Making Quantum Technology ready for Industry” organized in 2019 together with the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which identified initial needs for standardization in the field of Quantum Technologies and set the basis for an active dialogue and cooperation between the communities of researchers and standardizers.
The QT Flagship initiative, launched by the European Commission to fund leading scientists and engineers over the next ten years, is closely involved in the Focus Group. The Flagship directly addresses standards as a tool to envision an accelerated development and market uptake of Quantum Technologies with an impact on a large range of commercial applications.
All individual experts active in QT field can join the CEN-CLC FGQT and have access to the documents once they are nominated by a European National Standardization Body (NSB for CEN) or National Committee (NC for CENELEC). If you are an expert and would like to join the CEN-CLC FGQT, please contact your NSB or NC expressing your interest in joining the CEN-CLC FGQT.
For European organizations interested in becoming a member of CEN-CLC FGQT, or for international organizations willing to establish a liaison, please contact CCMC project manager namirifar@cencenelec.eu.
All documents that are developed within the FGQT can be found on the Documents Portal of CEN and CENELEC. A membership to the FGQT is a requirement for access.
If there are any questions, please contact the CEN and CENELEC project manager or the FGQT secretariat.
