Standardisation for Quantum Technologies: Needs, Challenges, Strategies
summary
Standards work as concrete documents not slogans: a national DIN SPEC 91480 is being drafted to benchmark quantum computers (aiming for architecture‑specific metrics and test methods), ETSI already publishes QKD parts on requirements and evaluation and an ETSI ISG (~200 experts) produced a roadmap after 30+ meetings, and the new JTC 22: 4 WGs tackles metrology, enabling tech, computing and communications with work items like network best practices, QKD vs PQC comparison, gap analyses and characterization metrics. National metrology labs build atomic‑clock hardware to validate measurement standards.
