Europe launches a €50 million pilot project called Photonics for Quantum (P4Q) to advance photonic chip manufacturing for quantum applications. The initiative brings together 29 partners across 12 countries to develop standards, design kits, and production techniques that improve reliability, reduce optical loss, and enable cryogenic stability. The project aims to transition quantum photonic platforms from lab prototypes to industrial-scale production at TRL-8/MRL-8 readiness, supporting applications in quantum sensing, computing, and secure communications.
