The procurement contract for the EuroQCS-France quantum computer, Lucy, has been signed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the selected French-German vendor partnership, including Quandela and attocube. Lucy will be a digital, MOSAIQ-12 photonic quantum computer, offering 12 physical qubits.

Fraunhofer IAO, Fraunhofer IPA and the IAT of the University of Stuttgart are pooling their research expertise to set up the cross-institute Fraunhofer Lab “flaQship”. The lab focuses on applied quantum computing in Stuttgart and Heilbronn.

Led by D-Wave, an international collaboration including researchers from UBC’s Blusson QMI has achieved a major milestone in quantum annealing, pushing computing beyond classical limits to solve complex magnetic material simulation problems for materials discovery. The study was published in Science.

The consulting firm d-fine and quantum computing manufacturer planqc have been commissioned by the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI) to advance the development of new materials. Within the DLR QCI project QuantiCoM, they leverage the strengths of quantum computers to enhance simulations of highly complex materials and develop industrially relevant solutions.

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched a call for tender for the installation of the EuroQCS-France photonic quantum computer, a new EuroHPC quantum computer to be located in France.
