QSolid Project Integrates 10-Qubit Prototype Quantum Computer into Jülich Supercomputing Centre’s JUNIQ Infrastructure - Quantum Computing Report

QSolid Project Integrates 10-Qubit Prototype Quantum Computer into Jülich Supercomputing Centre’s JUNIQ Infrastructure Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich, together with partners from the QSolid consortium, have successfully integrated the prototype of a quantum computer into the Jülich Supercomputing Centre’s (JSC) JUNIQ infrastructure. This integration marks a step toward establishing a comprehensive German quantum ecosystem and making quantum hardware accessible via the cloud. The prototype, currently operating with a capacity of 10-qubits, will be accessible via the JuDoor cloud platform for an initial two-week test phase starting November 17, 2025. The system is built entirely from hardware developed at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The QSolid project is one of Germany’s largest quantum computing joint projects, with a total budget of €76.3 million ($88.4 million USD). The software stack was integrated through close collaboration with industrial partners. Qruise and Eviden supplied components for quantum firmware and high-performance computing, while Forschungszentrum Jülich handled the system integration. The industrial partners ParTec, ParityQC, and HQS Quantum Simulations will be among the first external users to participate in the test run. The successful system integration is positioned as a blueprint for developing a German quantum computer and reinforces momentum for the Federal Ministry’s “High-Tech Agenda Germany”. Prof. Dr. Frank Wilhelm-Mauch, coordinator of QSolid, noted that this achievement is critical for the compatibility and interplay of quantum and classical components. Read the full announcement here.
