Following on a proposal written by the consortium led by Professor Andrew Forbes from the Wits School of Physics, the DSI committed the first tranche of funding up until March 2025 to set up SA QuTI. It involves establishing quantum nodes at five centres… and eventually increasing the number of active centres across the country by finding and supporting new emerging quantum leaders.
Some developers are on the cusp of reaching ‘quantum advantage’, a crucial breakthrough.
Throughout history, there have been revolutionary technological innovations that have changed the way the world operates and quantum technology is set to be the next of these developments. While quantum computing is regularly discussed in the media, it is largely hogging the limelight – that’s right, the scope of quantum tech is far broader than just increasing computing power beyond anything that is currently available. With some of it very close to the market, it’s quite strange that we don’t hear about all the other elements of quantum technology that are soon going to change our lives.

Quantum Industry Consortium kicks-off work The European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) announced its successful kick-off with its General Assembly event held online on April 14.
Quantum-safe virtual private networks require securing from quantum computing’s threat. Not only are VPNs vulnerable, but much of the cryptographic infrastructure affiliated with the VPN. The RSA cryptosystem and elliptic curve cryptographic methods will purportedly expose their weakness to quantum computing.
