Rosatom Is Bringing Quantum Computing Into the Real World of Business
Russia’s quantum program led by Rosatom is entering a phase where pilot quantum products and services are being prepared to help businesses evaluate their real-world potential
From Research to Practical Quantum Solutions
Rosatom has hosted a high-level meeting in Moscow focused on the emerging commercial uses of quantum computing in Russia.
Participants included representatives from the scientific community, government agencies, and major enterprises. The discussion centered on the readiness of quantum technologies for practical deployment, existing barriers, and the incentives required to accelerate industry adoption.
Experts emphasized that Russia’s national quantum program, coordinated by Rosatom under an approved roadmap, is steadily shifting from fundamental research toward applied development. The key goal today is to create pilot products and services that companies can test in real workflows, assessing their value for economic and social applications.
Deputy Minister of Digital Development Andrey Zarenin highlighted that although the state plays a major role in funding and building quantum infrastructure, sustainable progress will require stronger engagement from private industry and investors.
He stressed the importance of an environment where companies and startups can experiment with roadmap technologies and push them toward market-ready solutions.
Removing Barriers and Stimulating Demand
Yaroslav Avdiev, Director of the Technological Leadership division at ANO Digital Economy, noted that analysts are now mapping the sectors where quantum technologies could bring measurable impact. At the same time, experts are identifying regulatory bottlenecks and possible incentives to support early adoption and create the foundation for a new high-tech market.
Rosatom’s Director for Quantum Technologies, Ekaterina Solntseva, explained that the priority for the coming years is the development of applied quantum algorithms capable of tackling first test problems and later real-world challenges. For this transition to succeed, she said, businesses must begin forming internal competencies now—learning to define tasks, assess algorithmic performance, and understand the practical potential of quantum resources as they scale.
Future Growth Depends on Collaboration
Participants concluded that the evolution of Russia’s quantum industry will depend on coordinated actions across science, business, government, and investment institutions. The meeting reaffirmed that quantum computing is moving steadily toward real-world deployment, with Rosatom positioned as a central integrator of national expertise and industrial demand.
