This project is funded by the Spanish Government through the NextGenerationEU funds, which have been channelized in several key areas of development. One of them is Quantum Communications, as the country tries to align itself with other European initiatives in this field, such as the Quantum Flagship or the European Quantum Communications Infrastructure (EuroQCI). The funding aims to build new quantum infrastructures in Spain and push the quantum industry in Europe.

The program identifies multiple lines of research, in which we highlight hardware for quantum computing and communications and software for quantum computing and communications. In this context, N3Cat plays a bridging role between both hardware and software, and between computing and communications, by proposing to build scalable quantum computing architectures using quantum interconnects. In particular, the project will investigate the modeling of quantum-coherent interconnects with integrated technologies to communicate the cores of a multi-core quantum computer.
