The Israel Innovation Authority announced today the launch of a national quantum computing center and development infrastructure, backed by a NIS 100 million investment. The initiative includes a call for proposals to build the infrastructure, which will provide advanced quantum computing capabilities to Israeli industry and academia.
The announcement follows the government's approval of a national artificial intelligence plan in June, which included the establishment of a national quantum computer, as The Zioneer reported. That plan was part of a broader strategy to position Israel as a global leader in advanced technologies.
The Innovation Authority's move marks a concrete step toward realizing the quantum computing component of the AI plan, though the infrastructure's timeline and the exact capabilities to be offered have not yet been detailed.
