Abstract: Quantum technology is a frontier field that has a strong industrial vision and is related to the development of national strategies. Increasing countries or regions have included the development of quantum technology in their national key strategies. Understanding the relevant policy formulation and scientist information of the quantum technology development power can give a glimpse of some of the characteristics of quantum powers in policy formulation, and can also provide a reference for predicting the next step of policy formulation. This article combs the development track of quantum policies in the EU and the United States, focusing on the latest major strategic deployments and related scientists who influence policy formulation. By comparing with our own situation, this paper proposes several suggestions for the formulation of our country’s quantum technology policy: speed up the top-level design of the national strategy, promote the development of the quantum industry through national projects, build an echelon of quantum technology talents and so on.
