PARIS, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday announced a five-year investment plan worth 1.8 billion euros (2.2 billion U.S. dollars) in quantum technologies, which he said would put France among "the world's top three" in this field.
"With this public-private commitment of 1.8 billion euros... of which one billion euros come directly from the state," France will have "the key to be at least among the top three," Macron said after a visit to the Center for Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies (C2N), a joint research unit of the French National Centre for Scientific Research and University Paris-Saclay.
