Description
One of the targets of the EuroHPC JU is to develop and support a highly competitive and innovative quantum computing ecosystem broadly distributed in Europe contributing to the scientific, industrial, and digital leadership of the Union, capable of autonomously producing quantum computing technologies and architectures and their integration on leading HPC computing systems, and advanced applications optimised for these systems.
The system will be hosted and operated by SURF and located at the Amsterdam Science Park, integrated into the Dutch national supercomputer, Snellius.
The system ‘EuroSSQ-HPC’ will complement EuroHPC existing quantum computing portfolio with a semiconductor spin‑qubit (SSQ) technology, that promises enhanced scalability and will strongly benefit from Europe’s potent semiconductor industry. The first-generation system will feature at least 16 physical qubits, an average 2-qubit gate fidelity of 99.0% and a relaxation time of at least 100 microseconds. Given the rapid developments in semiconductor spin qubits, EuroHPC JU together with the Hosting Consortium foresee a potential upgrade of the QPU halfway through the system’s lifetime.
