Since the Enlightenment, progress in science and technology has relied on ideas moving freely across borders. The recent announcement by Sir Patrick Vallance of a new quantum partnership between the UK, G7 nations and Australia to share research is a welcome step in that spirit. No single country can meet the challenge of building scalable, secure quantum systems alone. Collaboration accelerates discovery, ensures interoperability and strengthens trust. Yet barriers to international research remain all too common, a concern we’ve raised before in Sifted. It is good to see global cooperation returning to the heart of quantum research, where it has always belonged. Check the links in the comments for more.
