SURF will host a European quantum computer in the Netherlands. The quantum computer will be located at Amsterdam Science Park, right next to the national supercomputer Snellius, with which it will be linked. This will allow students, researchers and businesses to make use of a unique hybrid combination between a quantum and a ‘regular’ supercomputer. SURF is thus laying a new foundation for the future digital infrastructure in the Netherlands. The quantum computer is co-financed by the European EuroHPC programme. This will make the Netherlands part of the EuroHPC operational Quantum-HPC infrastructure.
SURF submitted the application to host the quantum computer to EuroHPC JU earlier this year, in coordination with Quantum Delta NL. The application was submitted on behalf of a broad consortium comprising Antwerp University (BE), GENCI (FR), Netherlands eScience Center (NL), Leiden University (NL), Delft University of Technology (NL), National Institute for Subatomic Physics Nikhef (NL) and SURF (NL).
