The EuRyQa consortium has published a new white paper outlining the current state of the art and future strategic directions for neutral atom quantum computing in Europe. The document discusses the technological progress required to achieve scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing and highlights the role of neutral atom platforms as one of the most promising approaches for next-generation quantum processors.
As a project partner in the European research initiative EuRyQa (“European infrastructure for Rydberg Quantum Computing”), the 5th Physics Institute of the University of Stuttgart contributed to the collaborative work behind the white paper together with consortium partners from across Europe.
The publication reflects the consortium’s shared vision for strengthening Europe’s technological sovereignty and scientific leadership in quantum technologies, particularly in the field of neutral atom and Rydberg-based quantum computing.
About EuRyQa
The EU-funded project EuRyQa (European infrastructure for Rydberg Quantum Computing) has successfully concluded after more than three years of collaborative research, having positioned neutral atom quantum processors as one of the most promising platforms for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing in Europe and worldwide.
Funded under the Horizon Europe program from 10/2022 until March 2026 with a budget of nearly €5 million, EuRyQa brought together 11 partners from seven countries, uniting academic institutions at the forefront of ultracold atom research with key industrial players in quantum hardware, electronics, firmware, and software. Coordinated by the University of Strasbourg, the project set out with the bold ambition of developing Rydberg quantum processors into a leading platform for scalable quantum computing. That ambition has been realized and, in many areas, exceeded.
