Türkiye Mobilizes Over 300 Experts to Launch National Quantum Technology Strategy and Superconducting Processor Programs

The Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB) has officially unveiled the SSB Quantum Program, establishing a comprehensive, sovereign roadmap designed to cement the nation's technological independence across quantum computing, quantum sensing, and secure quantum communications. Formulated under the Quantum Focus Technology Network (OTAĞ) process, the strategic infrastructure plan synthesizes contributions [...] The post Türkiye Mobilizes Over 300 Experts to Launch National Quantum Technology Strategy and Superconducting Processor Programs appeared first on

Why this matters
Why now

Nations are increasingly prioritizing technological sovereignty, and quantum computing is seen as a foundational technology for future defense and economic independence.

Why it’s important

This indicates a growing strategic push by non-traditional quantum powers to develop their own capabilities, reducing reliance on established global leaders and potentially altering future technological power balances.

What changes

Türkiye is formally committing significant resources to develop a national quantum technology ecosystem, including hardware, moving beyond pure research into strategic implementation.

Winners
  • · Turkish quantum research institutions
  • · Turkish defense industrial base
  • · Quantum hardware manufacturers in Türkiye
Losers
  • · Nations dependent on acquiring quantum technology from external sources
  • · Companies unable to compete with state-sponsored quantum initiatives
Second-order effects
Direct

Türkiye will likely accelerate its indigenous quantum computing and communications capabilities.

Second

This could spark similar quantum sovereignty initiatives in other middle-power nations seeking technological independence.

Third

Increased global distribution of advanced quantum capabilities could lead to new geopolitical dynamics in both defense and economic sectors.
