Threats aside, the growth of QC technology has been impeded by quantum error correction (QEC) since its inception.

Implications for the Global South: Building National Strengths The importance of obtaining novel computational capabilities through FTQCs for the Global South cannot be overstated.

Additionally, other established platforms such as Quantum Leap Africa and the Africa Quantum Consortium could also serve as valuable forums for enhancing Global South cooperation.
