Quantum Programme

Changed on 20/02/2023

Inria is one of the major players in quantum information processing in France and as such has been given the task of co-leading several funding schemes: the QuantumTech programme co-leads the Quantum PEPR and the Hybrid Quantum Computing Platform (HQI). It is also involved in the work of pre-standardisation of performance measurements for quantum computers and in various initiatives aimed at facilitating the creation of fault-tolerant machines.

National coordinator of Quantum Programme: Harold Ollivier

Associated national strategy: Quantum Technologies

Structural public funding:

  • Quantum PEPR
  • National Hybrid Quantum Computing Platform
Verbatim

Our role is to contribute through our research to the achievement of PEPR's objectives. We are naturally involved in software-related projects, but as soon as we have techniques that might also be applicable to hardware projects, we are pleased to participate.
