The 9th meeting of CEN/CLC/JTC 22 Quantum Technologies took place in Paris from 14 to 16 April 2025. 8 delegations from Europe and representatives of the EU Commission took part. The meeting was hosted by AFNOR and the companies Quandela and Pasqal.
CEN-CENELEC JTC22-WG2 is developing a norm for characterizing ion traps used in quantum computing and sensing. The goal is a standardized framework for specification and testing.
Exclusively for our industry members, here are all the presentations from the AKT 2025 events.
Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers are a key component in cryogenic quantum computing systems. A European Norm is being developed.
European standardisation is stuck in a bureaucratic trap: lengthy procedures and non-transparent assessments are slowing down urgently needed adaptations to technical developments. A reform is overdue.
New standardization activity: "'Gaps in QKD System and QKD Network Security Assurance"
