RFPs: Neutral - Atom Platform Technologies Grant Programme

The Neutral-Atom Platform Technologies Grant Programme supports research and innovation projects developing advanced neutral-atom quantum simulation and digital quantum computing platforms for scientific and industrial applications in Europe. Each selected project can receive between €19 million and €20 million to develop scalable quantum processors, integrate software and cloud access, demonstrate real-world applications, and advance Europe’s quantum technology ecosystem. The Neutral-Atom Platform Technologies Grant Programme is designed to accelerate the development of large-scale neutral-atom quantum technologies in Europe. Neutral-atom quantum simulation. Digital neutral-atom quantum computing. The goal is to develop powerful quantum platforms that can be accessed through cloud services and integrated with high-performance computing environments. These platforms are intended to serve both specialist quantum researchers and non-expert users who need advanced computational capabilities for complex scientific and industrial problems. What Are Neutral-Atom Quantum Platforms? Neutral-atom quantum computing uses individual neutral atoms as quantum bits, or qubits. Atoms can be controlled and arranged using technologies such as optical traps and laser systems. Their quantum states can then be manipulated to perform quantum simulations or computations. Scaling to large numbers of qubits. Quantum simulation of physical systems. Programmable quantum computation. Scientific research. Industrial…
