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.
From 16 to 21 November, Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) attended the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC25) in St. Louis, Missouri.
The ion-trap quantum computer from Alpine Quantum Technologies, procured by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre and Munich Quantum Valley, is now operational at LRZ's Quantum Integration Centre, making it the first of its kind in a computing center.
At the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, a quantum computer based on superconducting qubits has been successfully connected to the SuperMUC-NG supercomputer. Initial tests show that the two technologies work together, enabling hybrid quantum computing. Today, the system has been formally unveiled.
In cooperation with Munich Quantum Valley, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre is procuring a quantum computer based on trapped-ion technology.
