Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
12 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 ambition for 2035: Deliver verified quantum advantage through quantum simulation, maturing end-to-end materials-simulation workflows in which fermionic simulators work inside industrial modelling pipelines.
- 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 1 (now to 2028): QKD networks in routine use, national and cross-border, terrestrial and space, including real enterprise environments; at least one EU institution or Member State administration buys a QKD-secured service for its own traffic.
