Wallenberg Initiative on Networks and Quantum information (WINQ), is part of the strategy to put Sweden at the forefront of quantum technology, thereby has a huge potential in the academic world. Quantum physics has already had a huge impact, thanks to inventions such as the transistor and the laser, which in turn paved the way for modern-day information technology in the form of computers, the internet and advancing measuring methods. Quantum computers are also expected to have a major impact on artificial intelligence and machine learning. As part of the WINQ program, we aim to nurture research activities centered around quantum information and complex networks, in order to make Sweden keep up with these developments, both as a base for research and as an industrial nation.
