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: 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 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.
- Milestone mid-term (2027–2030): Beyond-classical performance and beyond-break-even error correction for all relevant platforms; consolidation at or above TRL 5; standardised interface definitions.
- Goal long-term (2030–2035): Quantum utility demonstrated, computers running in production mode and broad industrial uptake, moving from TRL 6 to TRL 8 with large pan-European co-development centres.
