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 IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre (IT4I) in Ostrava, Czechia and integrated into the EuroHPC supercomputer KAROLINA.  

LUMI-Q will be a digital quantum computer based on superconducting qubits in a star-shaped topology providing one-to-all qubit connectivity. The star-shape topology minimises the number of so-called swap operations, which enables the execution of very complex quantum algorithms. LUMI-Q will offer at least 20 physical qubits.
