- IBM Quantum Data Center Launch: IBM has opened its first Quantum Data Center in Europe, providing advanced quantum computing resources for European businesses and institutions.
- Quantum Systems: The center includes systems with 127-qubit processors, supporting various industries and research sectors.
- European Partnerships: The launch was supported by key European collaborators, including industry leaders like Crédit Mutuel, SAP, and Fraunhofer.
IBM officially opened its first Quantum Data Center in Europe, offering state-of-the-art quantum computing resources to European businesses, research institutions, and government bodies. This data center represents IBM's ongoing investment in expanding quantum infrastructure and meeting the computational needs of the European community.
Located in Germany, the center hosts advanced quantum systems, including IBM’s 127-qubit Quantum Eagle systems. These systems allow European organizations to perform complex quantum computations for fields such as materials science, chemistry, and more.
"Our collaboration with IBM for the ‘scaling’ phase of quantum computing is progressing according to plan. We are working to develop concrete applications that improve the experience of our customers and members." – Frantz Rublé, President of Euro-Information and Deputy CEO of Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale
The data center offers European-based quantum processing units (QPUs), providing localized access to IBM's quantum services. Users can access the quantum systems through IBM Quantum Platform’s Premium Plan and via IBM Cloud, with additional payment options for flexible access. This local presence also ensures compliance with regional regulations regarding data processing.
IBM has consistently supported the growth of quantum technologies in Europe. In addition to the newly launched data center, IBM previously installed its first international IBM Quantum System One in Ehningen, Germany. This continued support ensures that European organizations have access to the latest quantum technology while adhering to local regulatory requirements.
IBM’s European Quantum Data Center will help drive further advancements in quantum research, enabling organizations to solve complex problems while complying with data regulations specific to Europe.
