Insider Brief

Romania plans to install its first quantum computer in Iași this fall through an investment exceeding 100 million euros, giving universities, researchers and companies direct access to quantum computing infrastructure.

The project is expected to strengthen Romania’s quantum research ecosystem, with Alexandru Ioan Cuza University playing a central role in training and research programs tied to quantum technologies.

Researchers say the system could support work in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, logistics, pharmaceuticals and advanced materials by enabling complex calculations beyond the reach of many classical computers.
