Rosatom State Corporation, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media, will host the inaugural BRICS Quantum Forum. The event will be held in Moscow on April 14, 2026, coinciding with World Quantum Day.
The forum will bring together government representatives, business leaders, and prominent scientists from the #BRICS member states and partner countries.
"In 2025, our scholars reaffirmed Russia’s strong position in quantum research and the development of quantum computer prototypes, achieving a performance benchmark of 70 or more qubits across three machines. With this significant capability, we support fair access to advanced technologies for all nations, because the ultimate goal of scientific and technological progress is to improve quality of life worldwide. We fully endorse the desire of countries to collaborate in future-oriented technologies and to include quantum technologies on the BRICS agenda. I am confident that the BRICS Quantum Forum to be held in Russia in 2026 will be a first-class event," commented Yekaterina Solntseva, Director for Quantum Technologies at Rosatom.
A call for joint development in quantum technology as a priority was included in the final declaration of the XVII BRICS Summit, held in July 2025 in Rio de Janeiro.
