About

Our mission is to increase knowledge about quantum technology, improving conditions for research and innovation and to illustrate applications of quantum technology.

With the legacy of Niels Bohr, the Danish quantum research community is at the international forefront thanks to years of considerable investments into basic research and research infrastructure.

In January 2020, Danish quantum researchers took the initiative to form Danish Quantum Community.  Danish Quantum Community aims to increase knowledge of quantum technology, improve the opportunities for research and innovation in quantum technology and illustrate the applications of quantum technology. By uniting all national stakeholders, we believe that we can create room for synergies across research institutions, industries, and funding bodies and thereby advance the development of quantum technologies in Denmark.

But why should one be interested in quantum technology? Because quantum technology provides the tools to solve the most important challenges humanity is facing. Quantum technology embraces a broad spectrum of novel enabling sensors, communication, and computing technologies. These all exploit entirely new physical modalities and will disrupt altogether the efficiency and security with which information is acquired, transmitted, and processed.

Applications are expected to pervade society e.g., by leaping forward in biological and medical imaging, surpassing computational barriers in pharma and chemistry, and countering cybersecurity threats. Furthermore, quantum technology is considered a key component for solving imminent global challenges relating to climate and sustainability in combination of classical computing.

Quantum is already here! Quantum sensors and quantum communication technologies are currently the most mature emerging technologies and are already on the commercial market. While universal “quantum computers” for real-world applications may still be 10-15 years away, but already now it affects organisations work with technology preparing for the techtonic change in their current operations, infrastructure and especially within security. Quantum computing carries by far the largest potential to impact and pervade society across all sectors. That is the potential DQC wants to cultivate and strengthen in Denmark.

Our vision is a strong Danish eco system enabling the realization of economical quantum technology.

Danish Quantum Community originated as a collection of researchers striving to amplify the voices of the Danish quantum ecosystem both nationally and internationally.

The organization was officially announced in August 2021 at the famous Auditorium A at the Niels Bohr Institute – a truly historical setting, as Auditorium A is where the world-famous physicist Niels Bohr and his team of researchers conducted much of their work that led to the first quantum revolution and created the foundation for modern-day quantum research.

Danish Quantum Community was launched as a cross-sectoral organization, bringing together researchers, industry associations, and companies within the Danish quantum ecosystem to strengthen Danish efforts in quantum research and quantum technology. As of 2023, Danish Quantum Community has 31 partners from all parts of the Danish quantum ecosystem. With representatives from world-leading research hubs at Danish universities, small and large companies, and industry associations, we are paving the way for the future of Danish quantum partnerships across sectors and academic subfields.
