Open Superconducting Quantum Computers

ongoing

The OpenSuperQplus consortium is a structured partnership aiming at large-scale European quantum computers in the superconducting platform. It proposes and implements a set of roadmaps covering the complete technology stack including quantum hardware, enabling hard- and software, engineering, and an application-driven test suite. It will implement and guide two specific grant agreements (SGAs), aiming at 100 and 1000 qubits with high fidelity, respectively. Grown out of the ramp-up project OpenSuperQ, it brings together a community of excellent academic groups, RTOs, and companies of various sizes spread over Europe, and that includes widening countries. Industrial partners allow to commercialize components, enabling technologies as well as full machines. Its scientific focus is on high coherence, which is crucial to reach the break-even point of quantum advantage in NISQ and reaching out to fault tolerance. Beyond the SGAs, OpenSuperQplus will collaborate with many other Flagship projects, contribute to standardization through CEN/CENELEC, and form a sustainable partnership in the form of a professional organization.
