Romania's Quantum
Decade.

Lobby for and secure €50M in EU Quantum Flagship co-funding to establish Romania's first dedicated QPU access node, collocated with our Sibiu research hub.

Launch a unified SDK supporting all major QPU backends (IBM, Google, IonQ, Rigetti, Pasqal) with a single coherent API and automatic transpilation.

Partner with Universitatea Lucian Blaga Sibiu, Polytechnica Bucharest, and Babeș-Bolyai Cluj to embed quantum software engineering in 5 engineering curricula.

Negotiate dedicated quantum cloud capacity for Romanian researchers and startups, reducing cost barriers by 80% vs international list prices.

Launch Romania's first accredited quantum engineering certification: 500 engineers certified in Year 1. Partnered with Ministry of Education for EU Skills Agenda credit.

Deploy portfolio optimization and fraud detection prototypes with 3 Romanian banks, demonstrating quantum advantage on real transaction data.

Complete post-quantum cryptography migration for 10 Romanian state institutions (health, energy, defense) ahead of 2030 EU quantum threat mandate.

Co-found Romania's first quantum startup accelerator with 10 seed investments per cohort. ZeroLegion provides mentorship, technology access, and co-investment.

Launch a €15M joint research program with Institutul Cantacuzino and European pharma partners, using quantum molecular simulation to accelerate antibiotic R&D.

Deploy route and supply chain optimization for Romania's largest logistics operators, targeting 30% fuel reduction via QAOA-powered real-time routing.

Commission Romania's highest-fidelity quantum simulator cluster, with 80 logical qubits, hosted at ZeroLegion Sibiu. Open access for universities and startups.

Lead the founding of the Quantum Technology Southeast Europe consortium, connecting Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Serbia on shared infrastructure and talent.

Demonstrate logical qubit operations with error rates below 10⁻⁶, the threshold needed for practical fault tolerance, on hybrid superconducting-photonic hardware.

Ship ZeroLegion Quantum ML runtime: hybrid classical-quantum gradient descent for production model training, targeting 5–10× speedup on select optimization problems.

Deliver a secure, GDPR-native quantum compute layer for Romanian government cloud, enabling quantum analytics on classified datasets without data leaving Romania.

Hit the target of 500 working quantum engineers in Romania, up from effectively zero in 2021, transforming Romania into a net exporter of quantum talent.

Release a full quantum operating system, abstracting all hardware, managing hybrid workloads, optimizing across QPU and HPC automatically. The Linux moment for quantum.

Contribute to a measurable €1B quantum technology economic impact in Romania through direct revenue, supply chain jobs, and productivity gains from quantum-enhanced sectors.

Open a national quantum research and commercialization center in Sibiu, co-funded by the EU, Romanian government, and private sector, as a permanent fixture of EU quantum infrastructure.

Launch an open-source quantum software foundation anchored in Romania, sustaining the tools, standards, and community that make quantum advantage accessible to all of Europe.
