Quantum Index Report 2026
Abstract
The MIT Quantum Index Report 2026 provides a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of the evolving quantum-technology landscape. As quantum technologies progress from scientific promise toward practical deployment, decision-makers need clear, accessible measures of technical capability, investment, workforce development, policy and public engagement. This second edition expands and updates the Quantum Index Report's analysis of quantum computing and networking. It tracks developments across research, industry, education, government and society. Drawing on academic, commercial, and policy sources, the report synthesizes trends and visualizes change over time to support informed comparison and discussion. The Quantum Index Report is intended as a nonpartisan public resource for business leaders, educators, policymakers, researchers and the broader public. Its aim is to reduce the complexity of a rapidly changing field while clarifying both its opportunities and remaining challenges.
