Quantum Experimental Pilot Lines for Quantum Technologies

Horizon Europe topic HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-QEXP-14-01 (call HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-QEXP-14). Deadline 17 November 2026, 17:00 Brussels time. Expected Outcome: This action will strengthen Europe's leadership and strategic autonomy in quantum technologies by advancing experimental pilot line capacities as a vital stepping stone toward future industrial-scale quantum hardware production. Qu-Pilot serves as the critical intermediary between academic research and the stable pilot lines under the Chips Joint Undertaking, offering a testbed for technological innovation, reproducibility, and manufacturability.
