It suits you if…
- You are a company of any size working on quantum computing hardware or software.
- You are a university or research team that builds quantum processors.
- Your project makes neutral-atom quantum processors bigger and ready for real scientific or industrial use.
- Your work links quantum machines to cloud access or to supercomputing centres.
It is not for you if…
- Your project has nothing to do with quantum processors. Look at other open calls.
- You want to start spending before you apply: the call does not state if earlier costs count.
How much you can get

Mistakes that cost you the money
- Proposing a project that does not centre on neutral-atom quantum processors. Consequence: The proposal may be judged outside the topic of the call.
- Starting purchases or works before applying. Consequence: Those costs may not be accepted.
- Assuming the call pays all costs because the rate can reach the top level. Consequence: Costs the call does not accept stay with you.
- Waiting for the closing date to submit. Consequence: A late or failed upload can leave you out, as the hour is not stated.
- Counting the same costs with another funder. Consequence: Those costs may not be accepted.
