Abstract:

EPIQUE is a research project funded with €10,340,000 by the European Commission under the call HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-CNECT within the European Quantum Flagship initiative. It is carried out by 18 partners from 12 countries. The final ambitious goal is to build a European quantum computer based on scalable photonic technology that will be made available to the European industry and academia to tap into the potential markets and applications of quantum computing. In EPIQUE, academic laboratories and deep-tech start-ups will work in synergy to assemble photonic platforms for quantum computing based on photonic cluster states and measurement induced operations.
