VLQ, the quantum computer of the LUMI-Q consortium, will provide a European-wide quantum computing environment integrated with the EuroHPC infrastructure. VLQ will allow the integration of the targeted EuroHPC quantum computer into EuroHPC supercomputer KAROLINA in Czechia, LUMI in Finland, and EHPCPL in Poland.
The LUMI-Q consortium’s quantum computer VLQ is based on superconducting qubits in a star-shaped topology. This topology minimises the number of so-called swap operations, enabling the execution of highly complex quantum algorithms. The system features 24 physical qubits connected to a central resonator.
VLQ is housed in Ostrava, Czech Republic, at the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center, part of the VSB – Technical University of Ostrava.
VLQ will be available to a wide range of European users, from the scientific community to industry and the public sector. It will support the development of various applications with industrial, scientific, and societal relevance for Europe, adding new capabilities to the European supercomputing infrastructure.
