Organisation profile
One view of what the portal stores about this organisation, from open sources. Each block appears only when there is data and names its source and date; the registries and sources stay authoritative.
Company dossier: every public fact with its source, to print, save as PDF or download for Word
Identity
"Registered" is what the organisation reported to the Global LEI System; "stated" is what an open registry names. The two can differ.

Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
13 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Milestone by 2030: Trapped ions: universal gates by 2030 and hundreds of logical qubits at an error rate of 1e-5, implemented on a full-stack computer in industry.
- 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.
- 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.
