European Commission is requesting Pilot Lines to provide
inputs on technologies to prioritize for the future. Those
have been categorized into areas/topics as in the slide
included at the end of this email. With all inputs
received from each of them, Pilot Lines will prepare a
single document.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In order to prepare
PIXEurope’s contribution, we need to collect from each of
you, who are interested, information on technologies you
believe are critical and plan or continue to work in your
organization, starting from 2029.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To make things simple,
at this stage, I ask you – please - to send me and the

and Project Managers, a brief description of your
activities classifying them in the relevant areas below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">E.g. ICFO plans to
work on “New Computer Algorithms” that leverage photonics.
More specifically, analog photonic computing combined with
digital processors and memories to reduce the energy
consumption of current digital GPUs. In the longer term
the technology can also be exploited for quantum
computation, either using a full photonic schemes or
hybrid atom-photon architecture.
<u>And so on for each of the different area/topic box….<o:p></o:p></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If something is not
