OQI is a multilateral governance initiative, bringing together academia, industry, diplomacy and education to promote global and inclusive access to quantum computing and the development of applications for the benefit of humanity.
OQI was launched in March 2024 and is hosted at CERN for the pilot phase (2024 – 2026), following its incubation by the Geneva Science Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA).
As the OQI community continues to grow, we are looking forward to building a collaborative quantum technology development platform for the benefit of all.
Our four objectives at the OQI are known as the “4A’s”. We believe they are part of the answer to pioneering quantum computing for the benefit of all.
Realising the full potential of quantum computing by accelerating the use case development relevant to achieve the SDGs, leveraging the combined forces of researchers and developers, entrepreneurs and United Nations and large NGOs innovation cells.
Providing global, inclusive and equitable access to a pool of public and private quantum computers and simulators available via the cloud.
Developing educational tools to enable everyone around the world to contribute to the advancement of quantum computing applications and benefit from the technology.
Providing a neutral forum to help shape the future multilateral governance of quantum computing for the SDGs
