Germany is accelerating in the quantum industry: thanks to its Quantum Technologies Action Plan endowed with $3 billion by 2026, Berlin is funding the integration of quantum computers such as the IBM Eagle 127 qubits and a quantum annealer at the Jülich center, while supporting the opening of centers such as IQM in Munich, dedicated to practical cases of machine learning, simulation, and network optimization. The launch of the QTF‑Backbone, a high-precision national fiber optic network for the distribution of quantum and time signals, marks a major step toward digital sovereignty, by linking laboratories, industrial players, and universities on a dedicated infrastructure over 10 years. Recent tests have demonstrated a system for quantum frequency and time distribution over hundreds of kilometers, offering increased security against GNSS navigation vulnerabilities, and laying the foundations for a quantum internet via multi‑node exchanges. Germany now aims to industrialize quantum: demonstrating, testing, and deploying concrete solutions adapted to real needs, while preserving its technological leadership.
