The official call seeks a full-stack trapped-ion quantum computer with individually addressable qubits, integration with high-performance computing and cloud access. Its scope includes supporting systems, error correction and standardized interfaces.\n\nThe funding context matters for suppliers: a research project may involve optical control, precision engineering, software and systems integration, but this notice is not itself a purchase order. Organizations should compare their capability against the technical objectives and partnership requirements before preparing a funding proposal. Integration and validation are as important as the performance of an individual component.
Trapped-ion platform developers, quantum researchers, control-system and optical-engineering teams, HPC integration specialists and suppliers with capabilities relevant to a complete trapped-ion computing system.
Participation is limited to legal entities established in EU Member States or participating states of EuroHPC JU. Entities in Horizon Europe associated countries that become EuroHPC participants before grant signature may also be eligible. Direct or indirect control by a non-eligible country or entity brings additional restrictions unless approved guarantees protect EU strategic interests. Horizon Europe General Annex conditions, including admissibility and financial and operational capacity, also apply. Review the complete official topic conditions and application forms before determining whether a particular organization or consortium can apply.
Supporting equipment and system-integration capabilities may be relevant to collaborative research. Treat any subsequent equipment procurement as a separate commercial process, and do not assume that publication of the call establishes a confirmed buyer for a particular product.
