Credit: IBM<\/span> <\/div>\n<p>Now online in Ehningen, <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe&#8217;s<\/span> first IBM Quantum Data Center includes two new utility-scale, IBM Quantum Eagle-based systems, and will soon feature a new IBM Quantum Heron-based system. These systems are capable of performing computations beyond the brute-force simulation capabilities of classical computers.<\/p>\n<p>First introduced late last year, IBM Heron is the company&#8217;s most performant quantum chip yet, and advances the company&#8217;s mission of bringing useful quantum computing to the world by enabling users to increase the complexity of algorithms they are exploring on real quantum hardware.<\/p>\n<p>When the IBM Heron-based system is made available at the IBM Quantum Data Center in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span>, it will be the third IBM Heron installed across IBM&#8217;s fleet of quantum systems that can be accessed by the company&#8217;s global quantum network of more than 250 enterprises, universities, research institutions, and organizations. IBM Heron offers up to a 16-fold increase in performance and 25-fold increase in speed over previous IBM quantum computers as they were measured two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>When it is deployed alongside the now-available utility-scale systems installed in the new IBM Quantum Data Center, the IBM Heron-based system will expand the more than a dozen quantum computers IBM currently offers through the cloud \u2013 the largest fleet of its kind in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The opening of the new quantum data center was celebrated at a ribbon-cutting event attended by senior government officials, including German Chancellor <span class=\"xn-person\">Olaf Scholz<\/span> and Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut<\/span>, Minister for Economic Affairs, Labour, and Tourism, State of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg.&nbsp;IBM CEO and Chairman <span class=\"xn-person\">Arvind Krishna<\/span> gave remarks alongside Chancellor Scholz, and the Chancellor also spoke at length with IBM leaders including <span class=\"xn-person\">Dario Gil<\/span>, IBM Senior Vice President and Director of Research; <span class=\"xn-person\">Ana Paula Assis<\/span>, General Manager of IBM EMEA; <span class=\"xn-person\">Jay Gambetta<\/span>, Vice President of IBM Quantum; and IBM Quantum&#8217;s German-based team about the importance of quantum computing&#8217;s adoption and growth in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the landmark moment was attended by several senior leaders of European-based global enterprises, including Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel, Bosch, E.ON, Volkswagen Group, and others, as well as research institutions such as Ikerbasque in <span class=\"xn-location\">Spain<\/span> and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. These organizations are among the more than 80 European-based organizations within the IBM Quantum Network, many of which have the opportunity to access the systems within the IBM Quantum Data Center in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> to search for the algorithms and applications of quantum computing that could solve some of the most complex challenges across their industries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The opening of the IBM Quantum Data Center in Ehningen is good news for <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>. It will serve as a location for innovation and business growth, and is an expression of investors&#8217; confidence in the German market. IBM enriches the German quantum computing landscape with this new data center. The German government is providing targeted support for the development of quantum technologies. It is thereby driving forward the development of competencies and capacities in quantum computing in order to promote a robust ecosystem around the development of quantum computers,&#8221; said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Olaf Scholz<\/span>, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The opening of our first IBM Quantum Data Center in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> marks a pivotal moment for the region&#8217;s technological development, demonstrates our commitment to <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span>, and underscores the key role of collaboration with industry, academia and policymakers for a pan-European quantum ecosystem. This state-of-the-art facility will foster innovation around quantum computing, creating new opportunities for talent attraction and ensuring that <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> remains at the forefront of global technological advancements,&#8221; said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Ana Paula Assis<\/span>, General Manager and Chairman of IBM Europe, <span class=\"xn-location\">Middle East<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Africa<\/span><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our collaboration with IBM for the &#8216;scaling&#8217; phase of quantum computing is progressing according to plan. We are working to develop concrete applications that improve the experience of our customer and members, and create value for the Group&#8217;s businesses,&#8221; said<b> Frantz Rubl\u00e9, President of Euro-Information and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel Alliance F\u00e9d\u00e9rale<\/b>. &#8220;The availability of this quantum data center on European soil addresses our constraints in terms of processing proximity and Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel&#8217;s approach to regulatory compliance. And it also means we can look forward to the next stages of the quantum project with confidence at Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel, CIC and then at Targobank.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe that enabling our scientists and engineers to tackle demanding problems in materials sciences, high-energy physics, and biosciences through quantum computing, and providing state-of-the-art quantum computing access will be key to make disruptive progress in all those disciplines,&#8221; said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Javier Aizpurua<\/span>, Ikerbasque professor, Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and director of BasQ<\/b>. &#8220;A combined use of quantum computing, AI, and data science, if generalized, will give rise to a scenario of new possibilities not only in fundamental research but also in industrial innovation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bosch aims to drive innovation in the field of material simulation using quantum computing. In partnership with IBM Quantum, our team is creating scalable algorithms that aim to revolutionize product development. This includes the creation of new materials for sustainable, carbon-free mobility and the reduction of rare earth elements,&#8221; said <b>Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Thomas Kropf<\/span>, President of Corporate Sector Research and Advance Engineering, Robert Bosch GmbH<\/b>. &#8220;The European IBM Quantum Data Center allows us to run quantum calculations in close proximity, supporting Bosch&#8217;s approach to compliance with European data protection regulations. This accelerates our research and development efforts and bolsters the European quantum ecosystem, paving the way for advancements in mobility, healthcare, and sustainable technologies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;E.ON is investigating quantum computing to tackle energy transition challenges, including large-scale optimization, complex scenario modeling, and quantum machine learning. IBM&#8217;s first European Quantum Data Center&#8217;s location is also helpful for EU\/German public funding opportunities, which may be available for local access to quantum computational resources and on-site expertise. This milestone underscores <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe&#8217;s<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany&#8217;s<\/span> leadership in quantum computing and marks a significant advancement in propelling enterprises into the quantum era,&#8221; said <b>Chris d&#8217;Arcy, Managing Director, E.ON Digital Technology GmbH and Chief Data and AI Officer<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Quantum computing can be the next big thing to solve problems in material science, traffic optimization, or deep learning, that may change the world. IBM&#8217;s Quantum Data Center in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> provides access to their unique quantum infrastructure and thus, represents an indispensable another piece of the bridge between quantum computers and industrial application at scale.
