A European Benchmarking Framework for hybrid quantum-classical computing
Pays one consortium EUR 500,000 to 1 million to build an open benchmarking framework for hybrid quantum-classical supercomputing systems.
A European Benchmarking Framework for hybrid quantum-classical computing is a EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) grant that pays one consortium EUR 500,000 to 1 million to build an open benchmarking framework and suite for hybrid HPC-quantum computing systems. The proposal must set out a clear IP plan and licensing strategy under the European Union Public Licence, alongside a strategic develop…
This call funds an open, reproducible benchmarking framework and suite for hybrid HPC-quantum computing (HPC-QC) systems, covering throughput, latency and energy metrics plus gate-, system-, software- and application-level quantum benchmarks, supporting both noisy-intermediate-scale and fault-tolerant quantum computing. The framework must be released under the European Union Public Licence and contribute to international standardisation efforts (IEEE, CEN-CENELEC, IEC/ISO).
