Official start marks a milestone in the improvement of quantum computing in Europe.

A quantum annealer with a lot more than 5,000 qubits has been put into procedure at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) and D-Wave Programs, a leading service provider of quantum computing techniques, nowadays launched the company’s initial cloud-primarily based quantum support outdoors North America. The new program is found at Jülich and will perform carefully with the supercomputers at JSC in the potential. The annealing quantum computer system is portion of the Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing (JUNIQ), which was established in autumn 2019 to offer scientists in Germany and Europe with obtain to several quantum programs. Federal Minister of Training and Study Bettina Stark-Watzinger, Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) Hendrik Wüst, and European Commissioner Mariya Gabriel officially put the procedure into procedure in the course of a ceremony held now, at which they highlighted the worth of collaboration in the growth of realistic quantum applications across market sectors and research fields. The condition govt of NRW and the Federal Ministry of Training and Analysis (BMBF) are each and every furnishing € 5 million in funding to support the establishment of JUNIQ.

“Quantum computer systems guarantee enormous options for our foreseeable future and for research in Germany. They have the probable to transform our each day lives for the superior – with regard to generating optimum use of our electricity grid, optimizing financial commitment approaches in the money sector, or designing far more successful medicines. This is why the Federal Analysis Ministry is providing intense, wide-centered assistance for quantum personal computer development. Today’s launch of a quantum annealer in the JUNIQ person infrastructure is a additional critical stage to propel Germany and Europe to an international leadership role in quantum computing.”
Federal Study Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger

“Bringing quantum and supercomputing technologies collectively is important to supporting advanced scientific discoveries. It is like opening doorways to new worlds with great innovation potential. Lecturers, enterprises, and other organizations will be capable to access this revolutionary technology now physically located in Europe, driving authentic-planet value.”
Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner

“The consumer infrastructure JUNIQ and the commissioning of the quantum annealer in Jülich impressively exhibit North Rhine-Westphalia’s advancement into a top European spot for quantum computing. Our excellent scientific landscape and the shut networking of our gamers in science and industry make it feasible to fully exploit the possible of these systems.”
Minister-President of NRW Hendrik Wüst
