Digital Realty this week announced it would host a quantum system for SURF at the AMS17 facility in Amsterdam’s Science Park. The quantum computer will be deployed by SURF directly next to its existing national supercomputer, Snellius.
"We’re excited to partner with SURF to bring this pioneering quantum computing technology to the Netherlands," said Chris Sharp, Digital Realty CTO. "This collaboration underscores our broader commitment to supporting cutting-edge technological advancements and providing our customers with the foundation to access the most advanced computing solutions available. From cloud and AI to quantum and beyond, we remain dedicated to empowering innovation at every stage of technological evolution."
“Co-location of a quantum computer in a professional data center is very different from co-location of any regular ICT equipment, with respect to the setup, requirements and procedures. Therefore, our partnership with Digital Realty is extremely important to make the installation and operations of such system a success,” added Axel Berg, innovation manager, emerging technologies and applications, at SURF, and coordinator of the EuroHPC Quantum project.
