Quantum Computers for Data Centers

Project description

Innovative platform for access to European quantum hardware

Quantum computing offers a substantial advantage in research, offering immense computing power which can be crucial for a variety of fields from finance to chemistry and biology. Unfortunately, access to quantum computers is limited, with researchers either having to wait in long waiting lists or pay excessive amounts of money. The EU-funded QCDC project will utilise the first European cloud-accessible quantum computer, assembled by Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) and providing internationally competing performance efficiency, to develop a novel AQT cloud platform that could offer their partners and customers access to quantum computing without the influence of non-EU providers.

Objective

AQT is realizing the first European cloud-accessible quantum computer at internationally competing performance levels. Our two quantum computing setups have been realized within two 19-inch rack cabinets each and are each powered by a single wall-mounted power plug. The hardware is deployed in our data centre and can be installed on-premise at a customer site. The project aims to provide cloud access to AQT's European quantum computers using a novel AQT cloud platform, such that the European quantum ecosystem, in particular our quantum software partners and customers, can thrive without influence or dependence on currently non-EU dominated quantum computing hardware. Our platform infrastructure is meant to be readily extended toward quantum-enabled application services. These future application services will allow us to demonstrate and commercially exploit the advantages of quantum computation in finance, logistics, optimization, materials design, and chemistry.
