The LUMI-Q consortium will provide a European-wide quantum computing environment integrated with the EuroHPC infrastructure. The proposed concept allows the integration of the targeted EuroHPC quantum computer into EuroHPC supercomputer KAROLINA in Czechia, LUMI in Finland, and EHPCPL in Poland.
The quantum computer of the LUMI-Q consortium will be available to a wide range of European users, from the scientific community to industry and the public sector. The upcoming quantum computing infrastructure will support the development of various applications with industrial, scientific and societal relevance for Europe, adding new capabilities to the European supercomputing infrastructure.
The LUMI-Q consortium is a true pan-European collaboration effort with 8 European countries involved: Czechia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.
