Atos-owned Eviden has partnered with IQM to install a quantum computer in France which will be housed at Eviden’s flagship factory in Angers, with both physical and remote access to be made available to users, the latter via an Eviden private cloud. IQM Spark is a 5-qubit superconducting quantum computer, tailored for universities and research labs.
“Hosting our very first quantum computer is a major step in our quantum computing journey,” said Dr. Cédric Bourrasset, global head of HPC-AI and quantum computing, Eviden, Atos Group. “With this milestone, Eviden now combines quantum emulation and quantum computing processing to offer a tangible solution to enter the world of quantum physics.”
