Computing and simulation, communication, and sensing and metrology: where each technology should be by 2030 and 2035.
Roadmap update 1
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.
10 goals, 7 milestones, 11 KPI rows
Years:
Themes:
Roadmap update 2
Covers QKD and hybrid QKD-PQC networks today and entanglement-based networking towards a quantum internet, in three phases to 2035, with KPIs on performance, satellites, adoption without subsidies and certification, and public administrations as first buyers.
4 goals, 4 milestones, 10 KPI rows
Pillar hub: Quantum communication
Years:
Themes:
Roadmap update 3
Aims for field-deployable, certified quantum sensors in navigation, medicine, industrial testing and defence, with pilot lines, shared testbeds and metrology, less dependence on non-EU components, and KPIs on TRL, use cases, miniaturisation and sourcing.
5 goals, 4 milestones, 7 KPI rows
Pillar hub: Quantum sensing and metrology
Years:
Themes:
Supply chain and enabling technologies, quantum chip manufacturing and standardisation: what it takes to build and sell at scale.
Roadmap update 4
Treats cryogenics, control electronics, photonics and chip manufacturing as strategic control points; plans dependency mapping by 2027, capability building to 2030 and industrialisation to 2035, with European sourcing targets of 30% and 60%.
3 goals, 4 milestones, 8 KPI rows
Pillar hub: Enabling technologies and supply chain
Years:
Themes:
Roadmap update 5
Seeks repeatable, accessible and trusted quantum chip manufacturing through four levers: resilient fabrication capacity, industrial processes and design kits, demand creation, and cross-cutting enablers, with gate criteria for 2030 and 2035.
4 goals, 3 milestones, 11 KPI rows
Years:
Themes:
Roadmap update 6
Sets standardisation priorities for post-quantum cryptography, QKD, quantum networks, computing and sensing, with a quantum internet path to cross-border pilots and KPIs on SME, research and regulator participation and on standards published and used.
5 goals, 4 milestones, 15 KPI rows
Pillar hub: Quantum communication
Years:
Themes:
Capital, intellectual property, international collaboration, skills, equity and diversity, and governance under the EU Quantum Act.
Chapter 7
Describes a scale-up financing gap despite strong public funding and proposes five objectives: more growth capital, faster commercialisation, deeper private markets, keeping strategic assets in Europe, and faster, better-coordinated public funding.
3 goals, 1 milestones, 1 KPI rows
Years:
Themes:
Chapter 8
Calls IP a strategic asset rather than an add-on, notes that Europe’s patent share trails its share of companies, and proposes five objectives and recommendations, including an EU-level IP initiative and support for SMEs in standards work.
6 goals, 0 milestones, 0 KPI rows
Years:
Themes:
Chapter 9
Seeks trusted partnerships while protecting IP and reducing dependencies: a unified European position and quantum diplomacy, published partner criteria, shared infrastructure, talent mobility, common benchmarks and coordinated export controls.
4 goals, 0 milestones, 0 KPI rows
Years:
Themes:
Chapter 10
Calls the workforce the precondition for every other goal; finds that awareness starts late, industry experience is thin, the gender gap is severe and talent flows to the US, and sets objectives to 2030 with indicative targets and a guidance process.
2 goals, 4 milestones, 7 KPI rows
Years:
Themes:
Chapter 11
Presents equity, diversity and inclusion as a horizontal priority backed by the 2025 Global Quantum Needs Assessment survey, with KPIs to 2035 on senior women, attrition, mandatory EDI reporting, harassment, mentorship and geographic diversity.
2 goals, 3 milestones, 6 KPI rows
Years:
Themes:
Chapter 12
Proposes governance under the EU Quantum Act for the next budget period: three pillars (R&D, industrialisation, economic security), a European Quantum Strategy Board with an advisory group, and a dedicated funding structure such as a Joint Undertaking.
3 goals, 1 milestones, 0 KPI rows

Read on 24 October 2026 from the text of the PDF (pypdf), page by page; page numbers are those printed in the draft ("Page N of 306"). Figures, years and targets are copied as stated. Table cells come from the extracted text, so where a table layout is ambiguous the note of the row says so. The groups are a reading aid of this portal; the draft lists its twelve chapters in one index, the first six as roadmap updates.
The draft names no editors or authoring organisations; chapters carry comments from their chairs, who are not named. The Quantum Flagship publishes it on qt.eu. Creation date in the PDF document properties; the draft itself prints no date (two chapters show an empty "date of publication" placeholder).
The figures under "What the portal shows today" are counts of this portal, not SRIA figures: confirmed items of the technology families a goal is mapped to.
