Quantum-enhanced Machine Learning

Objective

Equal1 leverages commercially available semiconductor technology to deliver quantum-enhanced machine learning solutions that empower businesses to overcome data-intensive AI challenges today. We design quantum processor chips (QPUs) based on silicon qubit technology and integrate them into a cryogenic system running at -270 degrees C. Our first server-sized prototype (Alice) has already demonstrated massive acceleration for AI applications. Through this project, we will finalize the next generation version of our QPU (codenamed Bluefin, number of physical qubits scaled to 64K in a quantum neural network array) and integrate it within our workstation-sized MVP demonstrator (Aquaris). With its much smaller carbon footprint, our scalable, cost-effective technology provides a path that will impact the trajectory of AI by making it more sustainable. We will enable our customers to continue to leverage the power of AI to develop useful, real-world solutions.

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.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

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.

HORIZON-EIC-ACC-BF - HORIZON EIC Accelerator Blended Finance
