Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
19 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 2035 goals: Neutral atoms: a fully fault-tolerant computer with more than 1000 logical qubits, a universal logical gate set, circuit depth above 10^12 and a logical clock rate above 1 kHz, integrated into European HPC and cloud.
- 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: 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.
- Goal greatest impact by 2035: Positioning, navigation and timing without satellite navigation is ranked first by impact, ahead of biology and medicine, sensing and testing, exploration and electromagnetic spectrum operations.
