Insider Brief
Türkiye released a national quantum roadmap that identifies 85 target technologies across quantum computing, sensing and communication, dividing them into 34 near-term and 51 long-term priorities.
The roadmap was developed through the SSB’s OTAĞ process, which brought together about 305 experts from 123 institutions and used structured scoring methods to rank technologies by priority and maturity horizon.
The report emphasizes near-term strengths in quantum security, cryptography, sensing and secure communications while calling for domestic supply chains, expanded talent programs and stronger links among universities, government agencies and defense firms.
Türkiye has set out a detailed plan for entering the global quantum race, publishing a national roadmap that names 85 specific technologies the country intends to pursue across the three pillars of the field — computing, sensing and communication. The document, the Quantum Technologies OTAĞ Result Report, was produced by the Presidency of Defense Industries (Savunma Sanayii Başkanlığı, or SSB) and released in June 2026.
