Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
20 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.
- 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 2035 goals: Photonic: manufacture photonic modules for fault tolerance and build HPC-integrated processors with more than 1000 logical qubits, circuit depth above 10^12 and a logical clock rate above 100 kHz, modular and networked.
- Goal by 2035: Operate several networked quantum computing infrastructures integrated with HPC and cloud, connecting different kinds of processors through dedicated interfaces.
- Goal by 2035: Europe operates the world’s most advanced quantum communication infrastructure: long-distance links between dense multi-user metropolitan networks, several validated commercial use cases and open access facilities.
