Call for funding is for organisations collaborating on international R&D projects in the field(s) of applied quantum technologies.
1) Quantum computing
The main objective is to develop quantum computing devices that outperform or accelerate existing classical computers to solve specific problems relevant to industry, science, and technologies, where the execution of quantum algorithms could be beneficial.
2) Quantum simulation and stack levels
Projects are expected to find applications in areas as diverse as quantum chemistry, nuclear physics, material sciences, fluid machines logistics, routing and more general optimisation. Near term programmable devices and quantum simulators promise to increase the speed of machine learning, including quantum kernels and quantum classification schemes.
3) Quantum communications and cyber security
The objective is to advance quantum communications and cyber security in three essential directions:
A. Performance: Increasing bit rates, fidelities, link distances, deployment capabilities and robustness of all types of quantum communications.
B. Integration: Combining quantum communications with conventional network infrastructures and applications, security services, photonics and electronics platforms and ensuring compatibility with quantum computers, and sensors.
C. Industrialisation: Realising technology that is sustainable, low-cost to manufacture, offers applications with a clear cost/benefit advantage in several sectors and generates wealth and jobs.
4) Quantum sensing and metrology
Quantum sensors should provide the most precise, accurate and sensitive measurements in many fields, boosting the performance of consumer devices and services, such as medical diagnostics and imaging, high-precision navigation, earth observation and monitoring.
Quantum metrology (with validation, certification and traceability implemented by independent experts) is a prerequisite for successfully transforming quantum technologies into the market.
Your project should:
• Demonstrate the potential to research or develop a product, process, or service for commercialisation.
Recommended project size:
Projects on quantum technologies may have low technology readiness levels and include both research partners and large industrial partners and SMEs to achieve both a high scientific level and market perspective. Therefore, you are encouraged to include research partners as well as industrial partners in your consortium and to develop a project along the value chain, possibly also including end-users. Consult the national funding details and eligibility criteria for specific information on partners.
