EuroQSS: Universal European Quantum Software Stack

Europe's Software Infrastructure for Quantum Computing

The EU project EuroQSS is developing an open, interoperable, and hardware-independent quantum software stack. It simplifies access to quantum resources and enables efficient collaboration between classical and quantum-based computing methods. Through EuroQSS, Europe is strengthening its technological sovereignty in the field of quantum computing and laying an important foundation for transferring of this technology to industrial applications.
