EuroHPC opened six Horizon Europe quantum calls on August 13, 2026, with €119 million ($135 million USD) still on offer through November 17. The package funds 1,000-plus-qubit trapped-ion, superconducting, and neutral-atom stacks plus next-generation QKD, Qu-Test labs, and Qu-Pilot lines. Call IDs, gate-time floors, key-rate targets, and the Funding and Tenders path are in the full article.
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has opened six new Horizon Europe calls totaling €119 million ($139 million USD) for next-generation quantum platforms, QKD systems, testing infrastructure and experimental pilot lines. Targets include full-stack systems at the 1,000-physical-qubit scale across three modalities and hybrid QKD systems with key rates above 1 Mbps. Technical specifications, supply-chain requirements and commercial implications are detailed in the full announcement.
Alice & Bob has joined QuBriC, Europe’s first doctoral network entirely dedicated to quantum error correction. The €4.6 million Horizon Europe programme will train 15 doctoral researchers across 16 universities and seven quantum companies. The collaboration brings cat-qubit expertise into a full-stack effort to bridge classical coding theory and quantum information science.
The PQ-REACT project has selected Qryptix, developed by ASI Enterprise Aps and Next-Tech Association, as a winner in its €650,000 Open Call #2. The consortium will create plugins and tooling for the Eclipse Qrisp quantum programming framework to reduce barriers to post-quantum cryptography adoption. Additional funded projects target smart energy meters, 5G/6G networks, and protocol benchmarking. These efforts collectively advance practical, energy-efficient migration pathways aligned with NIST standards across European critical infrastructure.
The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched the Q-Neko project to strengthen collaboration with Japan in hybrid high-performance computing and quantum computing. Coordinated by CSC – IT Center for Science in Finland and funded with around €4 million from Horizon Europe, the 36-month project aims to develop software platforms, benchmarks, and standards for applications in CO₂ reduction, telecommunications, fluid dynamics, satellite image analysis, materials science, and quantum-enhanced artificial intelligence. By connecting leading EuroHPC systems with quantum hardware in Europe and Japan, including Japan’s ABCI-Q system, Q-Neko will foster expert exchanges, build a skilled workforce, and produce a technology roadmap for future EU-Japan strategic collaboration in hybrid HPC and QC technologies.
