EU projects and funding
5 EU-funded quantum projects in CORDIS name this organisation as a participant (start years 2015 to 2027).
Net EU contribution to this organisation: EUR 2,074,612. The sum of its own net EU contribution in each of these projects, as CORDIS records it per participant.

Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
3 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 3 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.

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.
- Software: simulator or emulator Open-source software it develops
- Photonic EU-funded project naming the capability
- Photonic qubits Technology area confirmed by an editor
The University of Edinburgh is listed in 5 project(s) in this CORDIS quantum-related snapshot, coordinating 2. Recorded net EU contribution across these projects: EUR 2,074,612. Coverage is limited to the imported dataset; participation is not a verified quantum technology capability.
