Quantum computing provider D-Wave Systems announced that it will house its first Leap quantum cloud-based system outside of North America at the Forschungszentrum Jülich Supercomputing Center in Jülich, Germany. The system marks the cornerstone of the new Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing (JUNIQ) lab designed to offer practically usable quantum computers to researchers in Germany and throughout Europe.
Forschungszentrum Jülich and their government and academic customers will access the system via D-Wave’s Leap quantum cloud service. European business customers can also purchase access to the D-Wave Leap service and systems, including the Leap system located at Jülich.
The D‑Wave Leap Quantum Application Environment (QAE) is cloud-based, providing real-time access to a live quantum computer. In addition to access, Leap provides open-source development tools, interactive demos and coding examples, educational resources, and knowledge base articles.
Designed for developers, researchers, and forward-thinking enterprises, Leap enables collaboration through its online community, helping Leap users write and run quantum applications to accelerate the development of real-world applications.
Long known for its multi-disciplinary approach and commitment to real-world applications, Forschungszentrum Jülich is a large-scale national research facility in the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers.
By conducting research on the global challenges currently facing society, their scientific and engineering research is inspired by the notion of utilization with a view to application development. Jülich will benefit from the mid-2020 release of the Advantage quantum system, accelerating their work by providing Leap quantum cloud access to a processor with the new, highly connected Pegasus topology, lower noise, and increased qubit count.
D-Wave’s Leap cloud service will also feature expanded hybrid software and tools available in Leap’s Ocean SDK.
Business customers in Europe can access the D-Wave 2000Q through Leap and will benefit from the ongoing innovations that D-Wave continues to put into the cloud as the company gets closer to the mid-2020 release of Advantage.
With the new European Leap site, customers will be able to choose to run their quantum and hybrid applications on any Leap system, including the Leap Advantage quantum system located at Jülich. In addition, government and academic customers will be able to choose to either directly access Leap through D-Wave or benefit from the guidance of Jülich experts as they develop quantum algorithms and applications.
