Q-Neko is an EU–Japan collaboration advancing quantum-enhanced high-performance computing (HPC+QC), bridging supercomputing and quantum acceleration to address concrete societal and industrial challenges.
How do we turn today’s quantum promise into real-world impact?
Q-Neko is an EU–Japan collaboration advancing quantum-enhanced high-performance computing (HPC+QC) — bridging supercomputing and quantum acceleration to address concrete societal and industrial challenges.
Funded by Horizon Europe and the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) alongside Japan’s Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP), Q-Neko brings together leading European and Japanese research and industry partners.
🎯 Project mission
- Transform today’s promising quantum capabilities into reliable hybrid HPC+QC workflows for end users
- Enable reciprocal access to world-class infrastructures, allowing results to be tested, compared, and improved across platforms
- Build long-term collaboration through researcher and engineer exchanges, shared practices, and joint symposia
🔬 Use-case focus
- Materials science
- CO₂ reduction
- Telecommunications optimisation
- Computational fluid dynamics
- Satellite image analysis
🌍 Why this matters
Q-Neko implements the EU–Japan Digital Partnership in practice by:
- Making major infrastructure investments usable sooner
- Targeting high-value societal and industrial priorities
- Creating a much-needed evidence base for policy and procurement
- Reducing fragmentation through pre-standardisation and roadmapping
- Investing in people and trusted collaboration, not just technology
