Q-CAB brings together leading experts to support decision-making at a critical moment for the field, as quantum technologies transition from the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era toward fault-tolerant systems over the next two to three years.
Defining Next Steps in Quantum Computing
Q-CAB will play a key role informing actions by:
By collecting evidence and comparing technological approaches, the Board will also contribute to coherent and timely decisions on investments, procurements and standards across Europe.
Its input will support the work of the European Commission, EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, Chips Joint Undertaking and Member States and contribute to the 2026 QES quantum-computing roadmaps.
Who Is On The Board
The Quantum Computing Advisory Board brings together leading figures from across Europe:
The Board will be chaired by Professor Peter Zoller and coordinated by the European Commission together with Tommaso Calarco.
Independent Expertise to Support European Decision-Making
“The Quantum Computing Assessment Board brings together distinguished scientific leaders whose independent, evidence-based advice will be essential to our work”, says Tommaso Calarco,
“As quantum computing advances from the NISQ era towards fault-tolerant systems, their expertise will help the European Commission to assess progress in the field, refine strategic priorities, and focus resources where they can make the greatest difference. We are deeply grateful for their commitment and guidance.”
