Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The adoption of standardised classical communication protocols significantly accelerates the scalability of quantum networks. As quantum technologies advance, the ability to seamlessly integrate new quantum devices into existing networks becomes crucial. Standardised protocols provide a foundation for the consistent and reliable integration of diverse quantum resources, paving the way for the widespread adoption of quantum technologies across various applications and industries.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
Rapid advancements in quantum computation, communication and a recent surge in QIPC startups are reshaping the landscape for the European innovation. Initiatives like the European Quantum Flagship, alongside global R&D programs, are channeling billions of euros into developing breakthrough quantum solutions. SMEs, long a cornerstone of the European industry, are now poised to harness quantum standards for critical communication infrastructures, including qubit development, advanced encryption, and network interoperability. These standards, including QRNG standards, will further boost state-of-the-art cybersecurity, laying the foundation for a future quantum internet, driving sustainable techno-economic growth, and ensuring that European SMEs and society remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
My contributions in JTC22/WG3 are mostly related to quantum software, i.e., software that is executed on quantum computers but also software that is executed on classical computers for enabling/supporting quantum computations. In Europe, new SMEs are growing around the quantum software topic. Therefore, I feel that the activity I am carrying out in the context of JTC22/WG3 will be beneficial for those companies.
Impact on society (5th Open Call)
Quantum application benchmarking will benefit industrial end-users, quantum computing manufacturers (hardware and software) and Governments. The general intent is to fulfil their needs for objective performance comparison of emerging quantum processors, providing application benchmarks with specific metrics and methodologies.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
The formation of a new IEC working group on fibre optic quantum interconnect will align with the technologies of many European SMEs who would benefit from early engagement to develop standards, which help accelerate commercial adoption of their approaches. Therefore, I am strongly engaging with European quantum SMEs to secure support for the proposal and encourage participation. The successful formation of the WG would be followed by the establishment of liaisons to ISO/IEC JTC3 and CEN/CENELEC TC86
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The formation of IEC TC86 WG11 aligns well with the technologies of many European SMEs who would benefit from early engagement to develop standards, which help accelerate commercial adoption of their approaches. I am strongly engaging with European quantum SMEs to encourage participation from Europe; at the moment, the membership of the group overwhelmingly European (85%).
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
Europe is already a world-leader in the scientific research and industrialisation of quantum technologies, especially with regards to quantum communication and quantum computation technologies. My fellowship will strengthen European influence on quantum standards and by assuming a strong position on quantum technologies from industrial, academic and standardisation angles, Europe will be in a stronger position to establish a global competitive edge in this field.
