EU Gives Unprecedented Access to Quantum Computers – Accelerating Next-Generation Technology

September 3rd, 2025 EU Gives Unprecedented Access to Quantum Computers – Accelerating Next-Generation TechnologyWith the successful conclusion of the project QCDC (Quantum Computers for Datacentres), Europe can now boast its own cloud-based computing service for trapped-ion quantum computers. The QCDC project was financed by the European Innovation Council, reflecting the EU’s commitment to supporting breakthrough technologies that have the potential to transform industries. Quantum Flagship is a 10-year initiative funded by the European Commission. It was launched in October 2018 to accelerate the development of quantum technologies and their commercialisation. The EU-funded QCDC project established Europe’s first cloud-based trapped-ion quantum computing service, strengthening technological sovereignty and enabling independent research access. Researchers have advanced next-generation technologies for biochemical research and materials science thanks to an EU-funded initiative that has granted unprecedented access to cutting-edge cloud-based quantum computers. The collaboration took place between AQT and a team from QC Ware (USA), Covestro (Germany), and Boehringer Ingelheim (Germany), who all worked together to simulate the interaction energies of intermediate states in a chemical reaction. Complex tasks can be challenging for traditional computing, or even supercomputers, will eventually be made possible with quantum machines developed and operated by AQT.
