About Us
Established under the coordination of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB), the Türkiye Quantum Platform operates to raise national awareness of quantum technologies, develop capabilities, and strengthen the domestic quantum ecosystem.
In 2020, SSB Department of R&D and Technology Management launched the Quantum Technologies Development Program and prepared the Quantum Technology Roadmap. Through the Quantum Focus Technology Network (OTAĞ) activities, initiated in 2024 and completed in 2025, the existing Roadmap was updated and the Quantum OTAĞ Final Report was produced. The report has been published on the SSB R&D Portal. Activities relating to the Türkiye Quantum Platform are carried out under this Program, on the principle of making the fullest possible use of existing domestic infrastructure, workforce, and knowledge.
The platform consolidates ecosystem announcements and content in a single hub and ensures inter-institutional visibility; it also aims to operate in the areas of industry–academia–research coordination, education programs, international collaborations, entrepreneurship and commercialization, and the shared use of critical infrastructure.
National capabilities are being developed in quantum computing, sensing, and communication.
Quantum Computing
A computing approach that uses quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to solve certain classes of problems beyond the practical efficiency of classical computers.
Quantum Sensing
Technologies such as atomic clocks, gravimeters, magnetometers, and quantum imaging that use quantum effects to push measurement sensitivity beyond the classical standard quantum limit.
Quantum Communication
A technology area that bases information security on physical principles rather than computational hardness, including complementary layers such as QKD and post-quantum cryptography.

Call for Participation in the Unitary Foundation 2026 Quantum Open Source Software (QOSS) Survey
Participation is invited in the 2026 Quantum Open Source Software (QOSS) Survey conducted by the Unitary Foundation. The call has been announced by the UNESCO Global Quantum Initiative team. The survey aims to provide insights into trends in quantum software development, research and adoption. To this end, it gathers the global quantum community’s views on research interests, software tools and platforms, development practices and emerging trends in the quantum open-source ecosystem. Researchers, students, developers, educators and professionals who develop or use quantum software are eligible to take part. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, and the deadline for participation is 29 October 2026. Anonymised and aggregated results are expected to be made publicly available.
CompetitionSSB Quantum Algorithm Competition Final (Hackathon) Held At Teknopark Istanbul
The SSB Quantum Algorithm Competition Final (Hackathon) was held at Teknopark Istanbul on 26–27 September 2026. Contributing to the work of the Türkiye Quantum Platform in the field of quantum technologies, the competition brought together innovative ideas and young talent.
