In the memorandum of understanding, the National Quantum Office in Singapore and a total of eleven Swedish universities and research institutes agree to promote cooperation between the countries in the field of quantum technology – an area of great strategic importance for several fundamental technologies in the future.

“With over 25 years of collaboration with universities in Singapore, we now see a deepening of our cooperation in the quantum field, with the goal of achieving both scientific and industrial progress,” says Jan-Ingvar Jönsson, Vice-Chancellor of Linköping University.

The initiative focuses particularly on quantum information theory and quantum communication and is expected to strengthen the development of secure quantum infrastructure in Sweden as well as promote innovation on both sides of the world. The Swedish parties that have signed the memorandum of understanding are Chalmers University of Technology, Chalmers Next Labs, Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Linköping University, Lund University, Luleå University of Technology, Quantum Sweden Innovation Platform at Chalmers Industriteknik, RISE, Stockholm University, and Uppsala University. The initiative has been carried out in collaboration with the innovation agency Vinnova.
