Curator's Take
This article matters because Turkey’s first‑ever national quantum roadmap signals that the race for quantum advantage is expanding beyond the traditional powerhouses of the US, Europe and China, adding a new regional player with a coordinated strategy across computing, sensing and communication. By enumerating 85 priority technologies, the plan provides a concrete research and industry agenda that could accelerate domestic talent development, attract international collaborations, and stimulate a nascent quantum supply chain in the Middle East. However, the roadmap’s impact will ultimately hinge on sustained funding, clear governance, and the ability to translate ambitious targets into market‑ready prototypes.
