Progress in quantum technologies is shaped by access to high-cost research infrastructures open to shared use. Advanced infrastructures such as superconducting fabrication, cryogenic systems, precision lasers, and specialised clean rooms require advanced expertise and significant investment; the shared and efficient use of these infrastructures is therefore of decisive importance.
Within the scope of the platform, the aim is to make the country's quantum research infrastructures — including cryogenic systems, clean-room and nanofabrication facilities, precision measurement, calibration and test laboratories, sensor-packaging facilities, QKD test set-ups, and simulation resources — visible and open to shared use. In this way, reducing duplicate investment and making the fullest use of existing capacity are targeted.
Accordingly, the core principles are opening simulation infrastructures to shared use, providing shared cloud-based access to purchased or domestically developed quantum processors, integrating these systems with national high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures, and using critical laboratories and production infrastructures efficiently. Shared calibration, test, and characterisation facilities are expected to contribute to raising the technology readiness level (TRL) of the technologies developed.
In the medium term, the aim is to establish an access model based on shared use. In the long term, identifying strategic infrastructure gaps and directing investments — in critical research infrastructures such as advanced nanofabrication, cryogenic test facilities, precision measurement laboratories, and sensor packaging — in line with the national roadmap are envisaged.
