Each fact names its source and the date it was retrieved; dated figures also give the year or date the source states them for. Registers and Wikidata stay authoritative. Register entries, OpenCorporates records included, are read only for identifiers that Wikidata or GLEIF state for this organisation, never by name.

EU projects and funding

148 EU-funded quantum projects in CORDIS name this organisation as a participant (start years 2015 to 2027).

Net EU contribution to this organisation: EUR 128,009,718. The sum of its own net EU contribution in each of these projects, as CORDIS records it per participant.

For context: the whole projects together have an EU maximum contribution of EUR 728,893,503, shared among all their participants.

Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026

12 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 6 are listed.

  • Milestone by 2030: 100 logical qubits with logical error rates around 10^-6 by 2030, matching the Commission objective of about 100 logical qubits by 2030. draft page 26
  • Goal by 2035: 1000 logical qubits with logical error rates around 10^-6 by 2035; the draft calls this the lower edge of broad utility rather than an end point. draft page 26
  • Goal in 2035: Superconducting: run fully error-corrected algorithms on hundreds of qubits without unwieldy overhead, by making the best qubits first and then scaling; analogue and annealing processors show certified utility within HPC workflows. draft page 30
  • Goal ambition for 2035: Deliver verified quantum advantage through quantum simulation, maturing end-to-end materials-simulation workflows in which fermionic simulators work inside industrial modelling pipelines. draft page 28
  • Goal by 2035: Lead in quantum sensors through validated, field-deployable and industrially relevant system performance: sensitivity, stability and traceability, robustness, size and power, and advantage benchmarked against classical sensors. draft page 81
  • Goal by 2035: European suppliers should hold a defined share of the EU installed base in named product classes, with less reliance on non-European bottleneck components. draft page 83
