Imagine a computer that uses individual atoms trapped in mid-air as switches instead of silicon chips. This project is building a version of this machine that is small enough to fit in a standard server rack and powerful enough to solve problems regular computers can't. It's like moving from a giant, fragile lab experiment to a sturdy, plug-and-play appliance for data centers.
Current quantum computers are often fragile lab experiments that cannot be easily integrated into standard data centers. Businesses need stable, rack-mounted hardware that can scale to thousands of qubits to achieve a real computational advantage.
A 100-qubit ion-trap quantum computing demonstrator with a hardware-optimized firmware suite and cloud-based HPC integration.
If you are a drug discovery firm dealing with complex molecular simulations—this project developed a 100-qubit ion-trap system that provides computational capabilities beyond classical power. This allows for faster identification of chemical compounds using quantum advantage.
If you are a global supply chain optimizer dealing with massive routing variables—this project developed a QC/HPC integrated solution. It allows you to run hybrid algorithms via the cloud to solve optimization problems that exceed classical limits.
If you are an encryption provider dealing with the threat of quantum decryption—this project developed a platform with error rates smaller than 10-3 per gate. This helps in testing and developing fault-tolerant quantum-resistant security protocols.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided.
Yes, the project aims to move from a 100-qubit demonstrator to a 1000-qubit device using modular fabrication and semiconductor industry techniques.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not disclosed.
The system is designed as a 19’’-rack-mounted unit that integrates into high-performance computing (HPC) facilities and data centers via cloud accessibility.
The project period runs from 2023-03-01 to 2026-08-31, with the 100-qubit phase acting as the first step toward the 1000-qubit goal.
The consortium is highly balanced for commercialization, featuring 15 partners with a 40% industry ratio (6 companies, including 4 SMEs). The mix of 5 universities and 4 research centers ensures a strong pipeline from theoretical physics to industrial application, spanning 6 European countries.
