Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
11 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.
- Milestone by 2030: Trapped ions: universal gates by 2030 and hundreds of logical qubits at an error rate of 1e-5, implemented on a full-stack computer in industry.
- Goal by 2035: Lead in quantum sensors through validated, field-deployable and industrially relevant system performance: sensitivity, stability and traceability, robustness, size and power, and advantage benchmarked against classical sensors.
- Goal by 2035: European suppliers should hold a defined share of the EU installed base in named product classes, with less reliance on non-European bottleneck components.
- Milestone 2030 KPI: At least three sensor classes reach TRL 6–7, with selected priority platforms validated in relevant environments.
