On October 29, 2018 the European Union announced the projects selected for the FET Flagship on Quantum Technologies , a European research program of unprecedented scope, with funding of one billion euros over ten years. Its objective is to develop quantum technology applications by strengthening partnerships between research and industry, in the fields of measurement, computation, simulation, and information processing and communication. The EU selected twenty projects, nineteen of which are research projects: thirteen are based on laboratories affiliated with the CNRS, while two are coordinated by French organizations, Sorbonne Université and Thales. Quantum physics has already led to many scientific and technological breakthroughs, including the transistor, microprocessor, and laser, among others. These tools and systems are used on a daily basis by all major companies. A new era has now opened in this field thanks to recent research making it possible to control quantum phenomena, and to thus imagine new technological applications. In order to facilitate the emergence of these groundbreaking technologies, in 2017 the EU launched a call for projects in connection with the FET Flagship on Quantum Technologies .
