Bridging Academia
& Industry
A platform designed to lower the barrier for Swedish industry to engage in quantum projects, accelerating emerging quantum technologies from concept to deployment.
Mission & Vision
Our purpose, direction, and the infrastructure that makes it possible to accelerate Sweden's quantum future.
Where academic excellence meets industrial ambition
To serve as a bridge between academia and industry, lowering barriers for industrial engagement in quantum computing and accelerating Sweden’s leadership in the field.
We believe that the intersection of academic excellence and industrial needs is where emerging quantum technologies advance from conceptual promise to real-world deployment.
A full-stack application centre for quantum algorithms
To provide a platform where Swedish industry and researchers can collaboratively develop, benchmark, and trial quantum algorithms.
We enable the co-development of quantum solutions that catalyse innovation and deliver practical impact, ensuring scientific rigour and successful translation to real-world applications.
Hardware Access
WARA Quantum Computing integrates existing infrastructure through Chalmers Next Labs and the WACQT Quantum Technology Testbed, providing direct access to leading quantum hardware.
50/50 Shared Commitment
Projects are co-financed on a 50/50 basis — industry contributes in-kind resources, WARA provides project funding. Aligned incentives driving real results.
Why WARA?
Currently, there is a high barrier to entry for Swedish companies wanting to explore quantum computing. We exist to solve these key challenges.
Costly Hardware
Access to suitable quantum hardware is traditionally expensive and difficult to justify for exploratory projects.
Scarce Expertise
Algorithm expertise is hard to find and retain, creating a knowledge bottleneck for companies entering the space.
Commitment Risks
Long academic collaborations are often infeasible for industry timelines and fast-moving business goals.
