Call for proposals on applied quantum technologies

1 February 2024: Call for projects opens

27 February 2024 at 14:30 CET: Webinar on the call for projects

9 May 2024 at 16:00 CEST: Deadline (date of receipt CEST)

June-October 2024: Eureka/national evaluation

November/December 2024: Synchronisation of national evaluation and Eureka label is given

December 2024 – April 2025: Consortia agreement and  projects begin

Quantum technology includes many layers of technology from the individual modalities of quantum information processing, algorithms and the use of quantum computers for a variety of applications.

The main objective of this call for projects is to support organisations as they develop quantum technologies that outperform or accelerate existing technologies and contribute to solving problems relevant to industry, science and society.

This call for R&D projects may include topics such as but are not limited to:

Quantum computing

In quantum computing, quantum information is processed digitally via logical gates similar to today’s general-purpose classical computers. The challenge is to regroup many layers of technology: from the individual modalities of quantum information processing to the algorithms and ultimate applications of these machines for a variety of use cases.

The main objective is to develop quantum computing devices that outperform or accelerate existing classical computers to solve specific problems relevant to industry, science and technologies where the execution of quantum algorithms could be beneficial.

Quantum simulation and stack levels

There is a need for quantum simulation for special-purpose machines, designed and optimised for applications. These quantum simulators are highly controllable devices that allow us to obtain insights into the properties of complex quantum systems or solve specific computational problems inaccessible to classical computers.

Projects are expected to find applications in areas as diverse as quantum chemistry, nuclear physics, material sciences, fluid machines logistics, routing and more general optimisation. Near term programmable devices and quantum simulators promise to increase the speed of machine learning, including quantum kernels and quantum classification schemes.

Quantum communications and cyber security

The objective is to advance quantum communications and cyber security in three essential directions:

• Performance: Increasing bit rates, fidelities, link distances, deployment capabilities and robustness of all types of quantum communications.
• Integration: Combining quantum communications with conventional network infrastructures and applications, security services, photonics and electronics platforms and ensuring compatibility with quantum computers, and sensors.
• Industrialisation: Realising technology that is sustainable, low-cost to manufacture, offers applications with a clear cost/benefit advantage in several sectors and generates wealth and jobs.

Quantum sensing and metrology

Quantum sensors should provide the most precise, accurate and sensitive measurements in many fields, boosting the performance of consumer devices and services, such as medical diagnostics and imaging, high-precision navigation, earth observation and monitoring.

Quantum metrology (with validation, certification and traceability implemented by independent experts) is a prerequisite for successfully transforming quantum technologies into the market.

Your project should:

• Demonstrate the potential to research or develop a product, process or service for commercialisation.

Recommended project size

Projects on quantum technologies may have low technology readiness levels and include both research partners and large industrial partners and SMEs to achieve both a high scientific level and market perspective. Therefore, you are encouraged to include research partners as well as industrial partners in your consortium and to develop a project along the value chain, possibly also including end-users. Consult the national funding details and eligibility criteria for specific information on partners.

• Is the market properly addressed (i.e. size, access and risks)?
• Is the value creation properly addressed (i.e. employment opportunities and environmental and societal benefits)?
• What are the competitive advantages of your project (i.e. strategic importance, enhanced capabilities and visibility)?
• Are your commercialisation plans clear and realistic (i.e. return on investment, geographical and sectoral impact)?

2. Excellence

• What is the degree of innovation? (i.e. is the proposed product, process or service state-of-the-art? Is there sufficient technological maturity and risk)?
• How is the new knowledge going to be used?
• Is your project scientifically and technically challenging for consortium partners?
• Is the technical achievability and risk properly addressed?

3. Quality and efficiency of implementation

• What is the quality of your consortium (i.e. balance of the partnership and technological, managerial and financial capabilities of each partner)?
• Is there added value through international cooperation?
• Is your project management and planning realistic and clearly defined (i.e. methodology, planning approach, milestones and deliverables)?
• Is your cost structure reasonable (i.e. costs and financial commitment for each consortium partner)?

4. Overall perception

Experts will list three positive and negative points to your application and finally state whether they recommend your project for public investment.

Your national funding body may carry out a further evaluation (performed by the national project coordinator and technical experts) according to national rules before allocating funds to successful applicants.
