Neutral-Atom Platform Technologies[E8]

From the notice

Type of action: HORIZON JU Research and Innovation Actions. Expected Outcome: This action aims to establish European leadership in neutral-atom quantum simulation and digital quantum computing by delivering: Fully programmable industry-ready quantum simulators based on 10.000 neutral atoms in a scalable architecture, accessible via cloud platforms, and with the possibility of integrating them into high-performance computing environments. Fully programmable platform for neutral-atom quantum computing capable of both analogue quantum operations and gate-based computing with 1.000 physical qubits and a clear path to further scalability to 10.000 physical qubits. Coherence time of the order of hundreds of interaction times and infidelity of operations below 1%. Demonstration of quantum simulation and/or computing operating beyond classical computability, validated through benchmarking with classical methods. New real-world applications across science and industry (at least two) (e.g: in the energy and health sectors) The software stack for these applications, including enhanced software for verification, algorithm implementation, and user programming interfaces. Demonstration of the full quantum stack – including quantum control, electronic control components and verification of quantum processors simulation operating beyond regimes that are classically computable. Programming interfaces allowing users (including non-expert ones to the best extent possible), to use these quantum processors to their problem sets. Enhanced scalability, stability, and usability of the quantum simu…[E3]

• ConditionEU grant rules apply: check the call conditions for who can apply, consortium rules and co-funding.[E4]
• The notice data states no restriction on who may bid. Exclusion grounds and selection criteria in the tender documents still apply.

• RiskThis is a grant, not a contract. Grants usually need a proposal against the funder's criteria, may need partners and often need co-funding.[E5]
