EU deploys first quantum technology in six sites across EU

Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes HPC  

The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has announced the selection of six sites in Czechia, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and Poland that will host the first European quantum computers

They will be integrated on site into existing supercomputers, and will form a wide network across Europe. The total planned investment is over €100 million, half of which comes from the Digital Europe programme and the other half from the 17 countries participating in the EuroHPC JU. 

The new quantum computers are expected to be available at the above six sites by the second half of 2023. They will support a wide range of applications with industrial, scientific and societal relevance for Europe:

  • Much faster and efficient development of new medicines, with the creation of a ‘digital twin' of a human body upon which, for example, to conduct virtual drug trials.
  • Solving complex logistic and scheduling problems to help companies save time and fuel.
  • The development and testing in a virtual environment of new materials like polymers for aeroplanes, catalytic converters for cars, solar cells, or room-temperature superconductors that could store energy indefinitely.

These new systems will be available primarily for R&D purpose to a wide range of European users, no matter where in Europe they are located, to the scientific communities, as well as to industry and the public sector who will be able to access these quantum computers no matter where in Europe they are located.
