Europe's strategic agenda to lead in the field of quantum technologies by 2030 requires a concerted effort to develop advanced quantum chips including Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). This call seeks proposals for the development of new pilot lines capable of producing quantum chips, or the adaptation and expansion of existing pilot lines in view of producing quantum chips. The stability pilot lines should focus on achieving higher Technology Readiness Level (TRL) / Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) by advancing manufacturing and integration techniques tailored to meet the needs of the quantum industry over the next decade. The testing and experimentation facilities should be fully integrated in the pilot lines, providing seamless production and testing services. Proposals are invited for pilot lines that address the production of any type of quantum chips for quantum sensing, quantum communication and quantum computing. Proposals should.

target the more mature quantum technologies like superconducting, photonic, semiconducting, diamond-based, or neutral atoms. Proposals should focus on robust, scalable quantum processing platforms that pave the way for the industrialization of the production of quantum chips and the commercialization of quantum chips. To achieve a diversified portfolio, no more than one pilot line per technology will be funded.
