- Quantum engineer Olivier Ezratty urges greater software focus, arguing that the European Commission’s strategy overemphasises hardware.
- European companies develop quantum hardware and offer cloud access, yet Ezratty says software development remains insufficient.
- McKinsey reported that 51% of EU quantum investment came from public funds in 2024, versus 2% in the US and 10% in the UK.
- Between 2001 and 2023, the UK attracted 1.36 times more private quantum funding than the EU as a whole.
If Europe overlooks the strategic importance of quantum software development, it risks falling behind in the global race.— Olivier Ezratty, quantum engineer and researcher, said this, noting that the European Commission’s current quantum strategy focuses too heavily on hardware.

- Founded in 2019 by Dr. Nagendra Nagaraja, QpiAI combines artificial intelligence with quantum computing for enterprise applications, including materials science and drug discovery.
- In April 2025, QpiAI unveiled QpiAI-Indus as India’s first full-stack quantum computing system, using 25 superconducting qubits.
- The company aims to deliver a 64-qubit machine, codenamed “Kaveri,” by late 2026 or early 2027, with client access proposed soon afterward, and cites 1,000 qubits by 2030 as a long-term target.
- According to the report, the funding round was supported by Avataar Ventures and the National Quantum Mission, whose programme launched with a $750 million budget.
When we get to about 50 logical qubits, that's when we start hitting true quantum advantage.— Jason Zander, Microsoft's executive vice president, discussing the significance of achieving 50 logical qubits in quantum computing.

- Microsoft announced a topological quantum computer in February 2025, but a Nature peer-review note said the study had not definitively demonstrated Majorana zero modes.
- Google unveiled its 105-qubit Willow chip in December 2024, after which Mark Zuckerberg voiced doubts and quantum-computing stocks fell.
- Amazon announced the nine-qubit Ocelot chip at the end of February 2025, using a superconducting resonator and photon-controlled, error-tolerant cat qubits.
- No clear winner has emerged among the competing technical approaches, and scaling them to about one million qubits remains uncertain.
The Majorana 1 processor offers a clear path to fit a million qubits on a single chip that can fit in the palm of one’s hand.— Microsoft (from a press release about the Majorana-1 processor)
