QCIRCLE Center of Excellence: ACCELERATING QUANTUM IMPACT ON SUSTAINABILITY

QCIRCLE的卓越中心（CoE）愿景是加速新兴量子技术的采用，增强其广泛而深入的潜在利益。CoE的活动将沿着量子技术的四个基本支柱垂直移动（传感、计算、算法/优化和通信）和横向飞行任务，这些任务对可持续性的影响预计会产生影响，例如能源的有效分配和监测;气候变化指标演变的高精度传感和建模;二氧化碳中性运输和工业/农业的发展;以及早期诊断和个性化治疗（罕见疾病，神经系统疾病或癌症）。QCIRCLE SOE将落户加那利群岛（西班牙最外围地区），并成为量子科学领域的赢家，成为量子教育家、量子研究中心和量子创新中心的参考，以确保量子技术到达社会和市场。为此，QCIRCLE卓越中心将动员加拿大的R&I生态系统，并与同行建立稳固的长期高水平研究，知识转移和创新合作伙伴关系（高级合作伙伴，AP），来自乌尔姆大学，量子传感和量子光学参考中心（德国），研究理事会量子技术平台，量子算法通信参考中心（西班牙），奥地利科学院量子光学和量子信息研究所（IQOQI）和伯明翰大学量子技术中心，量子计量学和应用参考中心。该中心将吸引国际专业知识和投资，并将成为向全球出口加拿大/西班牙-德国-奥地利联合王国知识和高科技量子相关解决方案的跳板。从长远来看，欧洲委员会将拥有充分的自主权和财政可持续性。

QCIRCLE´s Center of Excellence (CoE) vision is to accelerate the adoption of emerging quantum technologies, enhancing their broad and deep potential benefits. The activity of the CoE will move vertically along the four basic pillars of quantum technology (sensing, computing, algorithms/optimization and communications) and horizontally facing missions where their impact on sustainability is expected to make a difference such as the efficient distribution of energy and monitoring; the high precision sensing and modelling of the evolution of climate change indicators; the development of CO2-neutral transports and industries/agriculture; and early diagnosis and personalized treatments (rare diseases, neurological conditions, or cancer). QCIRCLE CoE will be settled in the Canary Islands (outermost Spanish region) and emerges to become a triple-crown winner in quantum science becoming a reference as a quantum educator, a quantum research hub, and a quantum innovation hub to make sure quantum technology reaches society and markets. For this, QCIRCLE CoE will mobilize the Canarian R&I ecosystem and will establish solid long-term high-level research, knowledge transfer and innovation partnerships with the counterparts (Advanced Partners, AP) from ULM University, reference centre for Quantum Sensing and Quantum Optics(Germany), Quantum Technologies Platform at Research Council, reference centre for Quantum Algorithms Communications (Spain), the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Austria), and Quantum Technology Hub at University of Birmingham, reference centre for quantum metrology and applications. The CoE will attract international expertise and investment and will act as a springboard for exporting Canarian/Spanish-German-Austrian United Kingdom knowledge and high-tech quantum-related solutions globally. In the long run, the CoE will have full autonomy and financial sustainability.
