Technologies exploiting phenomena specific to quantum physics are gaining more and more attention. Bold claims are made for their potential, some realistic, others less so. Risks are also perceived, for both information and physical security, while concern not to miss opportunities is ever present. Major investments are being made, both public and private, and the EU has one of the leading quantum technology programmes worldwide, in size, breadth and quality. This report aims to stimulate a debate about the structure and characteristics of the EU programme, to help to discern the best way forward.
