Draft SRIA 2026 overview / Technology roadmaps
Merges computing and simulation, puts more weight on fault-tolerant computing while keeping analogue, annealing and NISQ routes, and sets platform targets for logical qubits, circuit depth and clock rate, plus goals for algorithms, software and HPC integration.
Drafting status: The chair notes that some sections are not yet fully developed and invites input; the KPI table lists indicators without values and the timeline is still to be generated. Page 4
