Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
8 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 6 are listed.
- 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.
- Milestone Phase 2 (2028–2030): First-generation general-purpose pilot networks in a metropolitan environment; procurement of QKD-secured services in at least three Member States; a European QKD core connecting the EU institutions with the first national QCIs.
- Milestone Phase 3 (2030–2035): Second-generation general-purpose pilots at inter-metropolitan distance (200 km), open access facilities launched, quantum-secure communication across major industrial and critical sectors and mature certification.
- Goal 2035 KPI: Inter-metropolitan pilots distribute entanglement over about 300 km at about 90% fidelity, and more than 1,000 km is shown in the lab.
- Milestone Phase 2, 2029–2031: First EU quantum internet pilot facilities at metropolitan scale (below 50 km) at TRL 4 to 5, with first standards for terminology, procedures and measurement methods.
