Open Calls

The Supercomputing Centre of the Technical University of Košice announces the opening of the QAPTIVA#2601 call for the allocation of computing time on the Qaptiva 808 quantum simulator.

The call aims to provide access to specialised infrastructure for developing, testing and optimising quantum and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms. Qaptiva 808 offers a controlled environment for simulating quantum computations without the limitations and errors associated with today’s physical quantum processors.

Call dates

• Call period: 14 September 2026 – 30 June 2027
• Applications open: 14 September 2026 – 31 October 2026

Subject to the availability of computing capacity, the application period may be extended. Information about any extension will be announced accordingly.

Applications for computing time may be submitted by:

• researchers and teaching staff from Slovak universities and research institutions,
• research institutions and public authorities,
• representatives of ministries and government organisations of the Slovak Republic,
• university students with an officially assigned final thesis,
• commercial entities, such as industrial research teams, technology companies and innovative enterprises.

Potential uses

Qaptiva 808 is particularly suitable for:

• designing, developing and testing quantum algorithms,
• simulating quantum circuits and quantum processors,
• developing hybrid quantum-classical solutions,
• simulating noiseless and noisy quantum systems,
• quantum annealing and solving optimisation problems,
• analogue quantum simulations,
• researching potential quantum-technology applications in fields such as chemistry, materials science, energy, logistics, finance and artificial intelligence,
• educating and training students and professionals in quantum computing.

The platform supports full-state vector simulations of up to 40 qubits, quantum annealing simulations of up to 50,000 spins.

Conditions of use

• Computing time is provided free of charge to academic and government institutions.
• Applicants must specify the intended use of the platform, the algorithms or simulations they plan to run, and the expected project outcomes.

Objective of the call

The QAPTIVA#2601 call supports the development of quantum research, education and innovation in Slovakia. Its objective is to enable users to validate new quantum algorithms, prepare solutions for future quantum processors, and explore practical applications of quantum technologies in academic and public-sector environments.

The Supercomputing Centre of TUKE announces the opening of a supplementary call for the allocation of computing time – PERUN#2601.2.

The objective of this call is to provide access to the computational resources of the HPC PERUN system for scientific research, educational, governmental, and commercial projects that require high-performance computing capacity.

Call Timeline

Call period: 11 September 2026 – 30 June 2027
Application submission period: 11 September 2026 – 31 October 2027

If computational capacity allows, the registration period may be extended. Any extension will be duly announced.

Eligibility

Applications for computing time may be submitted by:

• scientific researchers and academic staff of Slovak universities and research institutions,
• research and governmental institutions,
• members of ministries and state organizations of the Slovak Republic,
• university students with an officially assigned final thesis,
• commercial entities (e.g., industrial research teams or technology companies).

Terms of Use

For academic and governmental institutions, computing time is provided free of charge.

For commercial use, terms and pricing are determined individually, depending on the scope and nature of the requested computation.

Objective of the Call

Call PERUN#2601.2 represents an extension of making the HPC PERUN computational capacities available. Its objective is to support the development of science, research, and innovation through the efficient use of modern high-performance computing technologies.
