Sažetak
This article concerns about an optimal strategy for development of quantum technologies with an emphasis on their dual purpose. This paper sought to quantify how important it is in these strategies to develop a national expert base, relying on the existing higher education system. The specificity of the Republic of Croatia is that it is a smaller country without a highly developed technology base, but as a member of NATO and the EU, it has the opportunity to participate in collaborative projects that require adaptation of ministerial responsibilities and administrative processes. Delay and neglect of participation in the development of quantum technologies inevitably leads to economic dependence, large expenditures, technological dependence and the creation of serious defence and security weaknesses. Bearing all this in mind, a bibliometric study was conducted that pointed to the current state of national scientific research work and education in the field of quantum technologies and this study identify areas in which significant progress has been made by the Croatian academia which can be a foundation for the further development. The second research uses the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method to indicate the optimal organizational framework for the strategy of initiation and development of quantum technologies at the national level. The analytical network model has pointed out the exceptional importance of higher education in supporting defence and security as well as the national economy. At the same time, in the tripartite synergy of their respective ministries, higher education will achieve significant progress in high technologies. The result of this model is a proposal for developed and active interdepartmental cooperation, without the need to establish new administrative units and institutions.
