This funding opportunity supports advancing neutral-atom quantum processor platforms focusing on scalable, programmable quantum simulators and computers. Projects must develop hardware with thousands of qubits, demonstrate quantum advantage through benchmarking, and deliver software stacks enabling user-friendly programming. Real-world applications in science and industry, such as energy and health, are required. The goal is to establish European leadership in fault-tolerant, scalable quantum technologies.
Eligible applicants are legal entities established in Member States or Participating States of the EuroHPC JU, including associated countries joining before grant signature. Participation by entities controlled by non-eligible countries requires guarantees to protect EU strategic interests.
