Open for submission

Neutral-Atom Platform Technologies

In short

This is a Research and Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €20 million for about 1 grant of €19 million to €20 million each. Deadline: 17 November 2026.

What the call wants to achieve

  • 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.
