The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has announced that LuxProvide in Luxembourg will host the initiative’s MeluXina-Q quantum computer. The system will be integrated with EuroHPC JU’s MeluXina supercomputer and will be made available to European members of the scientific community, industry, and public sector.
“The installation of a quantum computer in Luxembourg represents a major step forward in our digital strategy, particularly in terms of data, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies,” said Lex Delles, Luxembourg's minister of economy, SME, energy and tourism. “By integrating MeluXina-Q into our existing ecosystem, we are preparing today for the quantum revolution that is coming. This investment allows us to build the skills and know-how necessary to position Luxembourg as a key player in this new technological era, with direct applications in crucial sectors such as cybersecurity and finance.”
