The Chips Joint Undertaking is organizing an online workshop on Quantum Enabling Technologies and Quantum Design.
During this workshop, the two quantum technology topics planned for the Chips JU calls in 2026 will be explained.
In 2025, six quantum pilot projects have been selected for funding. The success of these projects depends on a well-functioning supportive ecosystem. Therefore, the workshop focuses on the technologies and design approaches needed to make quantum chips scalable, reliable, and applicable.
Topics of the workshop
1. Quantum Enabling Technologies
For efficient and scalable control of quantum circuits, innovative control and readout solutions are needed, including:
classical control chips that operate at cryogenic temperatures
fast classical superconducting control technologies, such as single-flux-quantum logic, nano-cryotron, and gate-actuated switches
highly efficient single-photon detectors
These enabling technologies form an essential foundation for the development of quantum chips.
2. Quantum Design
In addition, there is a need for a comprehensive design ecosystem for quantum chips, including:
design methodologies and modeling and simulation tools
co-design across quantum, cryogenic, and classical layers
design flows that consider manufacturability, scalability, and system integration
Objective of the workshop
The workshop begins with an explanation of the scope and objectives of the two quantum topics for 2026. Subsequently, input is gathered on the needs, challenges, and priorities of stakeholders active in quantum enabling technologies and quantum design.
Setup
The workshop is open to all interested organizations and includes:
a welcome by the European Commission and the Chips Joint Undertaking
contributions from relevant industry and trade organizations
an interactive Q&A session
