New Joint ISO/IEC Technical Committee works to standardize Quantum Technologies
SESKO, the National Electrotechnical Standardization Organization representing Finland as the National Committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), has extended an invitation for Petra Soderling as an expert with knowledge in the field of Information technology and quantum computing.
The nomination concerns ‘PT ISO/IEC TR 18157’, a Project Team within a Joint Technical Committee (JTC) between IEC and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This joint committee is the IEC/ISO JTC 3: Quantum technologies. The Project Team is tasked to work on the technical document ‘Information technology — Introduction to quantum computing’.
In addition, Ms. Soderling will be a member of Finland’s National Mirror Committee.
From the International Organization for Standardization (ISO):
The scope of this Joint Technical Committee includes standardization in the field of quantum technologies, including quantum information technologies (quantum computing and quantum simulation), quantum metrology, quantum sources, quantum detectors, quantum communications, and fundamental quantum technologies.
The JTC will coordinate the results of these efforts with relevant committees and subcommittees that have within their scope the development of specific sector-based applications of quantum technologies.
