By 2050, the quantum computing sector in Sussex and Greater Brighton could contribute £1.2 billion-£1.9 billion to the South East economy and create 7,000-11,400 jobs. Nationally, the sector may generate £2.5 billion-£4.1 billion and support 25,000-40,800 jobs.

Adoption of quantum technologies is projected to increase productivity by 8% in the region. However, concerns exist about insufficient domestic support leading to potential economic losses of 40%. Effective funding is critical to realizing these economic benefits.
