Abstract
The main objective of the QuantERA initiative is to launch a transnational Call in quantum technologies that will cover 22 countries participating in the Horizon 2020 programme and will be co-funded by the EC through an ERANET action. Launching the Call will be complemented by a range of additional activities aimed at monitoring funded research, mapping future challenges in quantum technologies, and facilitating interactions with industrial players. It is envisaged that the results of these activities will be a starting point for future research endeavours aimed at exploiting the industrial potential of quantum technologies. Efforts will be made to explore cooperation with non-European countries in order to strengthen the European leadership on the world stage. Careful attention will be paid to maximising the impact of funding made available through the QuantERA action. QuantERA will target those with lower technology readiness levels, where the scope for international cooperation is the greatest and issues related to exploitation are not expected to impose significant constraints on collaborative research activities.
Obiettivi
In accordance with the FET Work Programme 2016-2017, the scientific scope of the QuantERA Call will focus on new technologies facilitated by specific quantum phenomena such as superposition states, the no-cloning rule, or entanglement to achieve new or radically enhanced functionality. These effects have been shown to have far-reaching consequences in ICT, specifically communications and computing, and more recently in other areas, including metrology and sensing. The ambition of QuantERA will be to identify current challenges that will benefit most from these collaborative efforts and make them the central objectives of funded projects. Attention will be paid to ensuring complementarity with concurrent European funding schemes available in the area of quantum technologies. The QuantERA Consortium will endeavour to advance the field of quantum technologies.
