Quantum Experimental Pilot Lines for Quantum Technologies
Quantum Experimental Pilot Lines for Quantum Technologies · HORIZON-JU-RIA · TRL 3–7 · Needs partners
What this call funds
This call funds the building or upgrading of experimental pilot production lines for quantum hardware, such as quantum processors, sensors, and cryo-compatible packaging. It aims to bridge the gap between lab research and industrial-scale quantum chip manufacturing, supporting shared cleanroom and fabrication infrastructure open to both academic and industrial partners across Europe. The goal is to advance technologies from lab prototype to pre-industrial maturity, feeding into future large-scale quantum chip production lines.
