OVHcloud Launches a European Cloud Platform for Quantum Computing - The Quantum Insider

PRESS RELEASE — OVHcloud, a global player and the European Cloud leader, announces the launch of its Quantum Platform, the first European Quantum-as-a-Service solution (QaaS). It will provide access to at least eight of the most advanced quantum computers, including the Pasqal Orion Beta QPU, available now. By facilitating access to quantum technologies, OVHcloud is now enabling organisations to prepare for the most complex technological challenges. Quantum computing can solve problems and use cases that are far too complex for traditional approaches. The cloud is key in making these advanced technologies accessible, democratizing quantum computing and facilitating its adoption without specialized infrastructure. With the launch of its Quantum Platform, OVHcloud now offers businesses and public organisations access to quantum technology from Pasqal, a pioneer in neutral atom computing, giving customers the opportunity to benefit from a 100-qubit system. This announcement is part of OVHcloud’s commitment to contributing to the creation of a European quantum ecosystem. As early as 2022, the Group laid the groundwork by launching its first quantum emulator, available in a specialised environment. Today, no fewer than nine quantum emulators are available on OVHcloud infrastructures, representing the widest range of European quantum emulators, with nearly a thousand users. With the launch of the first European Quantum-as-a-Service solution using Pasqal’s QPU, OVHcloud is expanding its offering to include both emulators, enabling users to try out different quantum computing models, and real quantum computers accessible on demand. After Pasqal, OVHcloud plans to integrate eight other QPUs, including seven from European suppliers, by the end of 2027. Fanny Bouton, Quantum Lead at OVHcloud says: “This launch gives us the means to offer our customers the most advanced technologies, while continuing to develop a European quantum cloud. Today, at OVHcloud, we are at the forefront of quantum computing and want to provide our customers with the means to iterate, test and learn, so that we can all be ready to embrace quantum together.” Loïc Henriet, CEO at Pasqual adds “Making our quantum processing unit available on OVHcloud represents a major step toward European digital sovereignty. It ensures that quantum computing, from hardware to cloud infrastructure, can be developed, deployed, and operated entirely within Europe. This collaboration embodies our shared commitment to building an European trusted, independent, and competitive quantum ecosystem.” Keep track of everything going on in the Quantum Technology Market. hbspt.forms.create({ portalId: "7697776", formId: "bb678241-852f-447e-b9b3-fdc974f72f81", region: "na1", onFormReady: function($form) { const conversionPageField = $form.find('input[name="conversion_page"]'); if (conversionPageField.length) { conversionPageField.val(window.location.href); } const verticalField = $form.find('input[name="vertical"]'); if (verticalField.length) { verticalField[0].value = 'Quantum'; } } }); [ivory-search id=”2367594″ title=”Custom Search Form”] One of our team will be in touch to learn more about your requirements, and provide pricing and access options.
