A Collaborative European Effort for the Post-Quantum Era
The SPQR cluster brings together innovative European projects that share a common goal: ensuring a secure, coordinated, and effective transition to post-quantum cryptography across the European Union.
By fostering collaboration among complementary research and innovation initiatives, the <b>PQ-REACT</b>, <b>QUBIP</b>, <b>PQ-NEXT</b>, <b>Q-FENCE</b>, and <b>POSEIDON EU</b> projects are forming the <b>SPQR Cluster</b>. This alliance aims to strengthen knowledge exchange, avoid fragmentation, and amplify impact.
Together, these projects address technological, operational, and strategic challenges to support Europe’s long-term cybersecurity resilience against quantum threats.

PQ-NEXT aims to develop a migration framework to analyse and model scenarios for a smooth transition to post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) standards with tailored migration plans.
The PQ-NEXT catalogue includes PQC and hybrid algorithms, maintenance tools, and a quantum programming language featuring high-performance simulation and hybrid quantum-classical optimisation, ensuring crypto-agility and security against quantum threats.
PQ-NEXT’s solutions will be validated through large-scale pilots in finance, critical infrastructure, telecommunications, and digital identities, through the selected use of digital twinning.
