The Centre activity is carried out in accordance with the Programme — a complex document approved by Moscow State University rector Viktor Antonovich Sadovnichii.

The main Centre objectives are arranged in four areas:

• key integrated research and development projects implementation;
• legal protection insurance, rights management and the protection of IP created by the Centre and IP transferred to the Centre management;
• development and implementation of higher education basic programmes aimed at the quantum technologies competencies formation;
• scientific, scientific-technical and innovation activity infrastructure development.

The Centre's programme implementation strategic goals are based on three principles:

• In scientific-technical area: to overcome technological gaps in quantum technologies sphere — between scientific developments in the intermediate-scale quantum computers and the appropriate element base creation;
• In commercial area: to launch two types of products to the global market, they are:
  1. network encryption devices based on quantum key distribution for the backbone fiber-optic communication between data centers;
  2. intermediate-scale quantum computers based on neutral atoms and photonic chips with remote network access for test problems based on quantum algorithms solving;
• In educational area:
  1. to launch three educational programs aimed at generalists training in applied quantum technologies field ("Quantum cryptography and quantum communication"; "Quantum computing" and "Quantum optical technologies");
  2. to launch an additional quantum technologies qualification educational system for technological enterprises employees;
  3. to launch an online quantum technologies educational system for the widest possible audience.
