BSC, selected to host one of the first European quantum computers

Spain has been one of six European countries selected by the European Union (EU) supercomputing consortium, the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), to host and operate the first EuroHPC quantum computers. The new infrastructure will be installed at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) and will be integrated into the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer, the most powerful in Spain and among the most advanced in Europe, in collaboration with the Institut de Física de Altes Energies (IFAE), and the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), in Portugal. The new quantum computer to be installed at the BSC will have the potential to significantly increase the impact of research and innovation by enabling solutions that go beyond the capabilities of current supercomputers. The investment, in the case of Spain, will be €12.5 million, co-financed 50% by the EU and the State Secretariat for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (Secretaría de Estado de Digitalización e Inteligencia Artificial, SEDIA), an organization under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation.
