QuRAK Center of Excellence- Quantum Research and Applied Knowledge

Objective

Quantum technologies (QT) offer transformative applications, from secure key generation to quantum computers and simulators that surpass current high-performance computers. Involving Widening countries in the development of these crucial emerging technologies can help narrow the gap with advanced EU members, drive a technological leap, and contribute to transforming the economy into a knowledge-based system. Despite Poland's strong theoretical foundation and potential, barriers hinder its participation in the quantum-technological race. Currently, no independent unit in Poland focuses primarily on QT. To address this gap, we propose developing the CTP PAS into a Center of Excellence (CoE), aligned with the Quantum Flagship pillars, in collaboration with renowned partners: ICFO, the University of Stuttgart, and the University of Warsaw. This will establish the first autonomous research institute in Poland devoted to QT. The CoE aims to achieve research excellence exploring the latest research trends, such as Rydberg atoms, exciton-polaritons, and developing certification methods for emerging quantum technologies. Within the Teaming for Excellence project along with complementary funding from national sources and building on the already existing CTP PAS’s potential, the CoE will implement organizational changes, boost innovation potential and train a young generation of excellent researchers, contributing to changing R&I culture in Poland, reverse brain drain effect. It will position Poland as one of the leaders in quantum technology research and innovation.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
