On October 20, 2025, the European Commission’s Work Programme for 2026 confirmed that the proposed Quantum Act is scheduled as a legislative initiative for Q2 2026, between April and June. The legal basis cited is Articles 173, 180, and 184 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
According to the European Parliament’s Legislative Train, the proposed Act is expected to focus on three dimensions: coordinating research and innovation investments across Member States, improving EU industrial capacity for designing and producing quantum technologies, and ensuring the security and resilience of quantum supply chains. The Quantum Act follows the Quantum Declaration signed by Member States in 2023 and the Quantum Europe Strategy adopted in July 2025.
