Q-Chip Quantum System-on-Chip based on silicon carbide

Coordinator: LUXEMBOURG INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (LU)

A key question for modern quantum technology is: can isolated demonstrator experiments be united to implement real-world applications?Theory shows that by connecting quantum memories and processors, e.g., on a chip, surprisingly small systems can immediately achieve a quantum advantage. But the experimental implementation remains a grand challenge.Today, optically active spins in solids (colour centres) already implement quantum communication, computing, and memories – albeit individually. Pioneering efforts (including mine) focused on nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond, but low material ava…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €3.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2025-07-01 to 2030-06-30.
