Quantum computing is a red-hot field. Computer scientist Scott Aronson of the University of Texas at Austin points to a string of assertions about how quantum computers “will soon leave the Earth’s fastest supercomputers in the dust.”1 Researchers can find a cornucopia of funding in quantum computing. In its web portal, the large-scale EU Quantum Flagship lists funding projects and describes its intent to “kick-start a competitive European industry” in quantum technologies. A transnational network of European research funders in quantum technologies launched the QuantERA initiative, which has funding resources at https://www.quantera.eu/calls-for-proposals/call-2021.
