Q-Neko

Q-Neko (Nippon-Europe Quantum Koraborēshon) project unites top-tier research and industry stakeholders in Europe and Japan to advance hybrid HPC (High-Performance Computing) and quantum computing (QC). 

By facilitating the exchange of researchers and engineers, Q-Neko will foster even closer technological and scientific networking between European and Japanese quantum communities and contribute to building a strong and sound foundation for long-term collaboration between the regions.

Q-Neko also seeks to promote the sharing of key resources and know-how across the two regions. The project will also produce a forward-looking technology roadmap designed to strengthen secure supply chains and guide future strategic collaboration.

In parallel, Q-Neko aims to assemble a high‑impact library of quantum‑enabled solutions that address pressing scientific and industrial challenges. To support international alignment, the consortium will contribute to the development of robust benchmarks and to pre‑standardization efforts in the emerging field of HPC–quantum integration. 

Finally, the project will advance the software stack required for seamless HPC+AI+QC integration, laying essential groundwork for the next generation of hybrid computing systems.
