Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects in CORDIS only. Not included: national programmes, the Digital Europe Programme, the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and the Chips Joint Undertaking, which fund much of the quantum infrastructure in Europe.
Other figures on the portal use a wider scope and say so: the funding trends series and its total add quantum projects of other EU programmes (Funding & Tenders Portal), and the catalogue counts every project record, incl. national and regional funders.

Europe's quantum infrastructure
Beyond research grants, the EU is building shared quantum infrastructure: secure networks, quantum computers and chip production lines, within one strategy.

EuroQCI: quantum-secure communication
A quantum communication infrastructure across the EU: fibre networks linking strategic sites on the ground, and satellites in space as part of the IRIS² secure connectivity system.
Status: Connecting Europe Facility funding covers 25 Member States (19 projects) for the ground networks and their links; satellites form the space segment. (checked )
-
EuroHPC quantum computers
EU quantum computers are joined to European supercomputers, so researchers and companies can use quantum and classical computing together.
Status: Six procured; systems in Poland, Czechia, Germany, France and Spain inaugurated between June 2025 and May 2026. (checked )
-
Quantum chip pilot lines
Pilot lines to design, make and test quantum chips in Europe, across several qubit technologies, under the Chips Joint Undertaking.
Status: Consortia selected in 2025 for six quantum-chip pilot lines. (checked )
-
Quantum Europe Strategy and Quantum Act
The Commission's strategy to make Europe a global leader in quantum technologies by 2030. The Commission is preparing a Quantum Act as the legislative follow-up.
Status: Strategy adopted on 2 July 2025, COM(2025) 363 final. Quantum Act: consultations closed, awaiting proposal or report; next: Commission proposal for a regulation, Q4 2026 (planned period on Have your say). (checked )
