CEN and CENELEC welcome the European Commission’s publication of the Quantum Europe Strategy, released in July 2025. The strategy outlines a comprehensive vision for Europe’s leadership in quantum technologies, emphasizing the pivotal role of standardization in ensuring interoperability, fostering innovation, and accelerating the commercialization of quantum solutions.
Key areas highlighted in the strategy include Quantum Communication and Cryptography, Quantum Computing and Simulation, Quantum Sensing and Metrology, and the development of Quantum Enabling Technologies.
CEN and CENELEC’s Joint Technical Committee on Quantum Technologies (CEN-CLC/JTC 22) remains fully committed to supporting the implementation of this strategy through the development of standardization deliverables across these critical domains. The committee’s work spans:
- Quantum Metrology, Sensing, and Enhanced Imaging
- Quantum Enabling Technologies
- Quantum Computing and Simulation
- Quantum Communication and Quantum Cryptography
The full work programme of CEN-CLC/JTC 22 is available here.
In support of long-term planning and stakeholder engagement, CEN and CENELEC have also developed a Quantum Technologies Standardization Roadmap which outlines priorities and future directions in this rapidly evolving field. An updated edition will be released shortly.
