The EuroHPC Joint Enterprise (EuroHPC JU) has inaugurated Euro-Q-Exa, a EuroHPC quantum pc being put in on the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching close to Munich, Germany.
Euro-Q-Exa is predicated on IQM Quantum Computer systems’ ‘Radiance’ platform and supplies 54 superconducting qubits. The set up roadmap contains including a second quantum pc with greater than 150 qubits by the tip of 2026.

Expertise unmatched readability with a single platform that mixes distinctive information, AI, and human experience.
LRZ has linked the system to its supercomputer to help hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
EuroHPC JU owns the system and stated the full acquisition value is €25m. Of this, €10m was funded by EuroHPC JU, whereas the remaining €15m was supplied by the Federal Ministry of Analysis, Know-how and Area (BMFTR) and the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts.
EuroHPC JU govt director Anders Jensen stated: “The inauguration of Euro-Q-Exa represents one other milestone in our journey in direction of a world-class European quantum computing infrastructure. This new EuroHPC quantum system reinforces our dedication to offering researchers, trade, and the general public sector with cutting-edge computational sources, fostering innovation and technological sovereignty throughout Europe.”
Euro-Q-Exa is considered one of six quantum methods that EuroHPC JU plans to combine into European supercomputers. The programme goals to supply entry for European researchers and to help technical independence in quantum computing, in response to the announcement.
LRZ will host and function Euro-Q-Exa at its Garching web site. The centre has beforehand built-in a number of quantum applied sciences into supercomputers and runs them for analysis customers.
Euro-Q-Exa is the second hybrid quantum pc that LRZ has put in with IQM Quantum Computer systems and made out there by way of the Munich Quantum Portal (MQP). LRZ stated having two hybrid methods improves continuity of entry when one machine undergoes upkeep.
On the {hardware} facet, the system targets low-latency integration into an HPC atmosphere.
LRZ stated the system makes use of tunable couplers and high-fidelity gates to help a lattice topology, and {that a} cryostat cools the processor to under −273°C to maintain the superconducting circuits secure throughout operation.
In response to the analysis institute, simulating quantum processors (QPUs) with as much as 50 qubits stays possible on a supercomputer. Nevertheless, shifting to 54 qubits makes full-state simulation tough or forces the computation to run in phases, as a result of every further qubit doubles the scale of the state area and drives up RAM necessities.
Euro-Q-Exa shall be accessible to German and European researchers by the MQP and the EuroHPC JU portal. Customers can run the QPU standalone or at the side of LRZ’s SuperMUC-NG, and later with Blue Lion, described as LRZ’s subsequent supercomputer.
The software program atmosphere contains a number of programming languages and customary quantum software program packages similar to Qiskit and PennyLane, delivered by way of the Munich Quantum Software program Stack (MQSS) developed at Munich Quantum Valley with universities, analysis institutes and corporations. MQSS helps hybrid algorithms, workloads and interfaces to further instruments.
LRZ board of administrators chairman Dieter Kranzlmüller stated: “With Euro-Q-Exa, we’re combining the strengths of quantum and supercomputing. This offers researchers the chance to check new approaches and implement groundbreaking calculations, opening up new scientific dimensions utilizing European know-how.”
