Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
14 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 6 are listed.
- Milestone by 2030: Every platform should reach beyond-classical ("quantum supremacy") performance on a synthetic benchmark in Europe by 2030, as the entry point before useful applications.
- Milestone by 2028: Break even with error correction on a few platforms as soon as possible, and demonstrate fault-tolerant universal gates by 2028.
- 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: Verified quantum advantage in 3 to 5 application areas against state-of-the-art classical methods, and complete fault-tolerant resource estimates for at least 20 industrially relevant problems.
- Goal by 2035: Operate several networked quantum computing infrastructures integrated with HPC and cloud, connecting different kinds of processors through dedicated interfaces.

Capabilities on public record
From the supplier directory: each capability with its strongest evidence. A contract, a documented product, a product line or software shows supply; an EU-funded project or a confirmed technology area shows research activity. Not an endorsement or a qualification.
