dc.description.abstractQuantum technology (QT) is potentially crucial for future technological and economic progress. However, we do not know much about the specific narratives and topics in national QT policies, despite their importance in shaping quantum approaches and progress around the world and in ensuring responsible development. We address this issue from the perspective of narrative policy analysis combined with computational topic modeling. Our research investigates policy documents from 23 countries, which we analyze using BERTopic modeling and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). The results show that national QT policies focus primarily on technological leadership for security and economic prosperity, assessing technological readiness, and, to a lesser extent, commercialization and societal impacts. We discuss the broader implications of these findings for guiding policy makers, researchers and stakeholders in aligning QT developments with societal needs and fostering international collaboration.
