Simula and LUMI-Q partners celebrate VLQ quantum computer progress
Published:
A key component of the VLQ quantum computer, the cryostat, has been successfully installed and tested at IT4Innovations in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
The cryostat will house and cool the quantum chip to near absolute zero temperatures, essential for its operation. The VLQ quantum computer, part of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking’ program for development of quantum computing across Europe, is moving closer to its planned launch in September.
This marks an exciting milestone for our partners in the LUMI-Q consortium to realise the VLQ. The consortium includes 13 partners from 8 European countries. VLQ will be based on superconducting qubits with a unique star-shaped structure, promising higher performance with fewer qubits. It will be available to research institutions, universities, industrial companies, and the public sector.
Professor Are Magnus Bruaset stated, “Simula is proud to be part of the LUMI-Q consortium, working alongside Sigma2, SINTEF, and partners from across Europe to innovate developments in quantum computing.”
