Follow the money
Follow public quantum funding from a programme to its awards, the organisations that receive them and the outputs that the sources link to each award. Choose a programme, a country, a technology area or a start year, then open an award to see its funding layers, beneficiaries and evidenced outputs.
A grant is not proof of a successful outcome, of operational infrastructure or of a return on investment. Missing outcomes stay unknown: they are shown as not linked in the sources used, never as a failure.
HPCQS: High Performance Computer and Quantum Simulator hybrid
Reviewed pilot case (Cross-funded project): A EuroHPC Joint Undertaking action funded by the EU and six participating states: the EU contribution is half of the total cost, the partner shares add up to the EU contribution, and the national part is not split by country in the sources used.

Funding layers
| Layer | What the source states | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Programme envelope or announced budget | No envelope of the EuroHPC JU call H2020-JTI-EuroHPC-2020-01 is recorded in the public investment registry; none is shown and nothing is added. | None |
| Award to the project | EUR 6,000,000 (EU maximum contribution, 2021-12-01 to 2026-05-31). Total cost EUR 12,000,000; it includes the award. | CORDIS project record 101018180 (JSON export of the project page) (retrieved 2026-10-23) |
| Partner shares of the award | 18 organisations. Net EU contribution per organisation: they add up to EUR 6,000,000, the award itself, not an additional amount. Linked third parties receive part of their beneficiary’s EU contribution; the net contributions add up to the award. | CORDIS project record 101018180 (JSON export of the project page) (retrieved 2026-10-23) |
| Co-funding by other funders | The project states that the Joint Undertaking receives support from Horizon 2020 and from Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Austria and Spain. CORDIS records a total cost of EUR 12,000,000, twice the EU contribution, but does not split the rest by funder, so no national amount is shown. | HPCQS project website: funding statement (retrieved 2026-10-23) |
| Payments | Neither CORDIS nor the EuroHPC JU publishes payments to this action; no payment data is shown. | None |

Evidenced outputs
Associated: an explicit identifier links the output to this award, which shows a relation, not that the award produced it. Demonstrated contribution: a reviewed document of the funder or the operator states that the award produced or acquired it.

Outcome timeline
From the award to the outputs the portal holds, oldest first, with the date as precise as each source. A facility milestone or a contract shows what happened to a facility this award reaches; it is not a result of this award alone. Missing evidence is shown as not available, never as a failure.

Each project counts once. A total adds the amount each source states for its projects within one measure and one currency only: EU contributions, national awards and other measures are never added together. Total cost includes the award and is shown separately. A country filter keeps whole projects with a participant in the country, so its total is not the country's share. Programme envelopes, partner shares, co-funding and payments are separate layers and are never added to awards; payments are not published by the sources used. Outputs are linked only through an explicit project or grant identifier or reviewed documentary evidence, never by name alone; only a reviewed document can show a demonstrated contribution. CORDIS and Funding & Tenders amounts are one measure, the EU contribution (maximum grant agreed in the grant agreement, not payments). Country codes EL and UK are read as GR (Greece) and GB (United Kingdom). National and regional rows whose title names no quantum technology are left out unless asked for.
