## It suits you if…
- You work on quantum computers built on superconducting circuits.
- You want to scale up these platforms and put them to practical use.
- You are a company, large, medium or small, or a university or research body.

## It is not for you if…
- Your project does not deal with superconducting quantum computing platforms.
- Your project leaves out the mandatory technical barriers named in the call.
- You are neither a company nor a university or research body.

## What you need
- A description of how your project scales up and puts superconducting quantum computing platforms to practical use.
- A section showing how you address the mandatory barriers: error correction and fault tolerance, and cryogenic engineering and interconnects.
- The list of documents the call asks for, which the call text we hold does not state. Confirm it with the help desk.
