Researchers collaborating in a warm, productive environment

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.

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.

Mission & Vision

Our purpose, direction, and the infrastructure that makes it possible to accelerate Sweden's quantum future.

Vision

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.

Mission

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 support innovation and facilitate knowledge transfer, ensuring scientific rigour and successful translation to real-world applications.

Infrastructure & Expertise

Hardware Access

WARA Quantum Computing integrates existing infrastructure through Chalmers Next Labs and the WACQT Quantum Technology Testbed, providing access to leading quantum hardware.

Co-Finance Model

50/50 Shared Commitment

Projects are co-financed on a 50/50 basis. Industry contributes in-kind resources, WARA provides quantum expertise and resources.
