Call for proposals - 2024 Quantum Voucher Model
The Swiss Quantum Initiative (SQI) is launching a call for proposals to award vouchers. These vouchers can be used for the use of existing infrastructures, platforms and services in the field of quantum technology and innovation in Switzerland.
The call runs from July 8 to August 30, 2024. The holder of a voucher and the host of the infrastructure, platform or service to be used agree bilaterally on the type, scope and time of use. The costs for this up to CHF 50,000 may be covered by the SQI as part of this call.
Applications for vouchers should cover at least one of the following areas:
Quantum communication
Quantum computation
Quantum simulation
Quantum sensing and metrology
Applications for vouchers in the following areas are also welcome:
Materials for quantum devices
Control hardware, systems engineering
Quantum theory
Computer science
The vouchers are intended for the funding of projects with a mid-range Technology Readiness Level (TRL). They are not intended to promote basic scientific research or commercial product developments.
By TRL, the SQI refers to the following scale:
TRL 1: Basic principles observed
TRL 2: Technology concept formulated
TRL 3: Experimental proof of concept
TRL 4: Technology validated in lab
TRL 5: Technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
TRL 6: Technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
TRL 7: System prototype demonstration in operational environment
TRL 8: System complete and qualified
TRL 9: Actual system proven in operational environment
A person can apply for up to two vouchers with a maximum value of CHF 50,000 each. Applications (roughly 2 text pages in length) must be submitted electronically via the portal provided for this purpose by midnight on August 30, 2024 at the latest. The results shall be communicated November 6, 2024.
