    • Subject areas

      Quantum technology includes many types of technologies from individual applications such as information processing, algorithms and the use of quantum computers for a variety of applications.

      The main objective of this call for proposals is to support organizations as they develop quantum technologies that surpass or accelerate existing technologies and contribute to solving problems relevant to industry, science and society.

      This call for proposals for R&D project covers the following subject areas but is not limited to:

      Quantum calculations

      In quantum computing, quantum information is processed digitally via logic gates similar to today's classic general purpose computers. The challenge lies in managing technology on many different levels: From different hardware modalities for quantum information processing, to algorithms and applications in different areas of use.

      The main objective is to develop quantum computers that outperform or help accelerate existing classical computers to solve specific problems relevant to industry, science and technology where the execution of quantum algorithms can be beneficial.

      Quantum simulation and stack levels

      There is a need for quantum simulation performed on quantum computing machines designed and optimized for particular purposes and applications.

      These quantum simulators are highly controllable devices that enable insights into the properties of complex quantum systems or solve specific computational problems inaccessible to classical computers.

      The projects are expected to identify applications in areas as diverse as quantum chemistry, nuclear power, physics, materials science, fluid machine logistics, routing and more general optimization.

      Soon available programmable devices and quantum simulators enable increased speed in machine learning, including quantum kernels and quantum classification systems.

      Quantum communication and cyber security

      The goal is to advance quantum communication and cyber security in three essential areas:

      1. Performance
        Increased bit rates, improved quantum state representation, link distances, distribution capabilities and robustness for all types of quantum communication.
      2. Integration
        Combine quantum communications with conventional network infrastructures and applications, security services, photonics and electronics platforms, and ensuring interoperability.
      3. Industrialization
        Realize technology that is sustainable and with a low manufacturing cost and develop applications with a clear cost-benefit advantage in several sectors that generate increased wealth and jobs.
      Quantum sensors and measurement technology

      Quantum sensors that enable the most accurate and most sensitive measurements in many different areas, increasing the performance of consumer products and services in, for example: medical diagnostics and imaging, high-precision navigation, Earth observation and surveillance.

      Quantum metrology is a prerequisite for successfully adapting quantum technologies to market needs with validation, certification and traceability implemented by independent experts.

      Your project should:

      • Demonstrate the potential to research or develop a product, process or service for commercialization.
    • Project in quantum technology can have a low TRL level and include both researchers, large companies and small and medium-sized companies, in order to achieve both a high scientific level and good market potential. Therefore, you are encouraged to include both research partners as well as industrial partners in your project consortium in order to be able to develop a project along the entire value chain, possibly also including end users.
