EuroHPC Quantum Computers
EuroHPC Joint Undertaking program procuring national quantum computers hosted at supercomputing centers across EU member states, including Czechia, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and Spain. IQM is the selected supplier for multiple national systems, including Germany's 'Euro-Q-Exa' (€25M, hosted at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre alongside SuperMUC-NG) as part of the pan-European LUMI-Q consortium of 9 countries.
EuroHPC JU is deploying six national quantum computers across Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain (plus two additional co-funded analogue quantum simulators in Germany and France), each tightly coupled to an existing EuroHPC supercomputer to give European researchers and industry hybrid classical-quantum computing capacity and build technology-diversified quantum capability across superconducting, trapped-ion, photonic, and neutral-atom architectures rather than betting on one approach. Hosting agreements were signed June 2023, with deployments running through 2025-2026.
