Cloud-Based Quantum Computing Access for Industrial Research and Optimization

digitalPilotedTRL 7

Imagine if you could rent a super-powerful brain over the internet to solve puzzles that today's fastest computers can't handle. Instead of needing a giant, freezing lab, you just log in through your browser to run complex calculations. It's like moving from owning a massive mainframe to using a modern cloud service, but for quantum power.

The business problem

What needed solving

Classical computers have not significantly increased in speed for 15 years, creating a bottleneck for research in chemistry, finance, and logistics. Additionally, existing quantum hardware is difficult to access and operate for most businesses.

The solution

What was built

A cloud platform and hardware stack that allows users to run quantum programs on universal processors via the internet.

If you are a quantitative hedge fund dealing with slow risk-modeling speeds—this project developed a European-based quantum cloud platform that allows you to run high-performance financial computations without relying on non-EU hardware.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for this service?

Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project provides a cloud-accessible service to reduce the need for customers to own expensive hardware.

Can this be deployed at an industrial scale?

Yes, the hardware is designed to fit within two 19-inch rack cabinets and can be installed on-premise at a customer site or accessed via the cloud.

Who owns the IP and how is licensing handled?

Based on available project data, the technology is developed by Alpine Quantum Technologies GmbH, but specific licensing terms are not provided.

How does this integrate with existing software?

The service acts as an interface that adapts low-level hardware programming to higher-level software development kits, making it user-friendly for developers.

What is the timeline for commercial availability?

The project period runs from 2023-04-01 to 2025-03-31, indicating the system is currently in the implementation and verification phase.

Consortium

Who built it

The project is led by a single Austrian SME, Alpine Quantum Technologies GmbH. This 100% industry-led structure suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and rapid deployment rather than theoretical research, as there are no university or research institute partners involved.
