Roubaix – March sixteenth 2023 – OVHcloud, the European cloud chief, additional confirms its ambitions and assist of the rising quantum computing ecosystem with the acquisition of its first quantum powered machine to kick-off new efforts within the fields of analysis and improvement. Designed by French firm Quandela, the MosaiQ laptop is powered by a photonic processor.
Doubling down on its efforts in quantum computing, the Group’s purpose is to offer its analysis and improvement division with the precise instruments to experiment with a Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) primarily based machine for numerous use instances. This is available in addition to the announcement, final summer time, of a plan to supply quantum-based calculation as-a-service by means of a number of emulators, together with Perceval, the programming framework developed by Quandela.
Staying true to its dedication in the direction of open ecosystems, OVHcloud actively helps improvement efforts within the area of quantum computing by way of its France Quantum convention initiative, the place OVHcloud is a co-founding member, and thru its Startup Program.
The latter offers technical help in addition to credit elevating innovation in quantum computing with startups, lively each within the {hardware} and software program fields. Over time, this dedication already led to vital breakthroughs with Quandela’s early proof of idea successfully utilizing OVHcloud infrastructure and Quandela’s first prospects with the ability to hook up with their QPU by means of OVHcloud. Quandela’s Perceval pocket book can also be obtainable here for OVHcloud Public Cloud prospects in order that they’ll uncover quantum emulation.
“With this new buy, OVHcloud is delighted to grow to be Europe’s first Cloud Service Supplier to order a photonic quantum system. What can higher embody the Innovation for Freedom goal we serve than the completely disruptive area of quantum computing?” mentioned Miroslaw Klaba, R&D Director OVHcloud.
Marking a big milestone and paving the way in which for a quantum prepared future, Quandela’s system is predicted for supply someday this fall. It depends on an upgradeable platform because of the usage of photonics. With a QPU that may be reconfigured, the system will show to be upgradable by means of new modules to rapidly ramp up the general computing capabilities.
“We’re very grateful for the boldness OVHcloud locations in us with this order. That is the first QPU order for our startup, and it represents a big achievement after having been the primary European startup to attach a quantum laptop in a public cloud. This first model will ship a computing energy of two qubits and can be simply upgradable with our modular strategy. ” mentioned Valerian Giesz, CEO & cofounder of Quandela.
