“How important is it for you, where the quantum computer was developed?” might invoke forms of pride, if one was attached to the company, to the town, to the university (spin-off), or to the quantum computer’s country.
However, only about a quarter of the German respondents in QuEra’s July 2024 Survey felt that Germany producing its own QPU was important. See Figure 8 of the QuEra Survey Report: The Current and Future State of Quantum Computing July 2024.
