Today, Euro-Q-Exa, the first European quantum computer of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking in Germany, went into operation at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ). The system has 54 qubits and is to be supplemented by an additional system with more than 150 qubits by the end of 2026. Connected to the LRZ's supercomputer, Euro-Q-Exa is now available to researchers in Europe and is intended to advance technical independence in quantum computing.

Recently, the first quantum systems at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre went into user operation, including the Alpine Quantum Technologies system purchased by Munich Quantum Valley. These systems can now be accessed remotely as part of the high-performance computing systems.

This week, the first regular event in the series “MQV Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen” took place at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ). During an introductory lecture and subsequent tour of the quantum optical laboratories at MPQ, the extremely interested audience gained insights into quantum simulation and quantum computing with neutral atoms.
