Quantum Semiconductors – Scaling from Lab to Fab | GSA EEF Munich
Today’s panel highlighted a clear reality: the quantum race is no longer about scientific breakthroughs alone—it is about industrialization, scalability, and sovereignty.
Together with Albert Heuberger (Fraunhofer), Maud Vinet (Quobly), Laurent Guiraud (ColibriTD), and Julian van Velzen (Capgemini), we explored how quantum computing is moving from the laboratory into semiconductor fabs and real-world applications.
Key takeaways:
âś… Semiconductor-based quantum technologies offer the most promising path to scalable manufacturing.
âś… The challenge is shifting from proving qubits work to producing them reliably at industrial scale.
âś… First commercial quantum advantages are likely to emerge in optimization, materials science, semiconductor design, and cybersecurity.
✅ Quantum computers will complement—not replace—AI, HPC, and classical computing in hybrid architectures.
✅ Europe must build and control the entire quantum stack—from chips and packaging to software and post-quantum security—to maintain technological sovereignty.
✅ The transition to post-quantum cryptography must begin now to address the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat.
The panel concluded that Europe possesses world-class research and industrial capabilities, but success will depend on transforming innovation into manufacturing leadership and retaining critical IP and talent.
Most importantly, as quantum technologies become as transformative as AI and the Internet, they must be developed securely, ethically, and for the benefit of humanity.
