This action will establish a pan-European open-access testing and experimentation infrastructure for quantum technologies, enabling systematic validation and certification of quantum components and systems. Expected outcomes include:
• Deployment of distributed quantum testing facilities accessible across Europe, including remote access and standardized test protocols.
• Provision of certification services aligned with future standardisation efforts, ensuring trust, quality, and interoperability of quantum technologies.
• Support for SMEs, start-ups, and research institutions in validating quantum components and sub-systems.
Strengthening of Europe’s competitiveness by ensuring robust quality assurance mechanisms and accelerating the time-to-market of emerging quantum products.
The proposal should implement the testing-related part of the action plan established under the Framework Partnership Agreement for Qu-Test. The action must include:
• Expansion and interconnection of open-access testing facilities in multiple Member States, covering a range of quantum technologies (e.g., processors, sensors, photonics, control systems).
• Development and deployment of interoperable testing methodologies, benchmarking protocols, and certification procedures.
• Integration of metrological and validation capabilities into existing RTOs and academic infrastructures, focusing on TRL 4–7.
• Creation of a comprehensive digital platform supporting users in test planning, remote execution, and data reporting.
• Engagement with industry, especially start-ups and SMEs, to define user-driven requirements and access models.
• Establishment of feedback loops between testing and design/manufacturing entities to inform improvements and accelerate iterative development.
• Coordination with relevant European and international standardisation initiatives to prepare the ground for widespread adoption of certified quantum components.
• Alignment with SRIA 2030 objectives, focusing on ecosystem-wide support for quality, reliability, and reproducibility in quantum technology development.
Technology Readiness Level - Technology readiness level expected from completed projects
The rules are described in General Annex B of the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2026-2027.
Testing activities (no TRL applies) are expected to validate technologies starting at TRL 3/4 and confirm their progression to TRL 5/7 by the end of the project.
Country restriction: participation is limited to legal entities established in Member States or Participating States of the EuroHPC JU.
