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 — 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 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.
