A project consortium which includes startups, industry, research centers, supercomputing centers and academia has come together to accelerate Europe's Quantum leadership efforts.

IQM Quantum Computers will bring the members of this project consortium together and lead this project as a system integrator.

IQM announced a Quantum project consortium that includes Europe's leading startups, industry leaders, research centers, supercomputing centers, and academia has been awarded 12.4 Million from the German Ministry of Education and Research.

The project is intended to support the European FET Flagship project EU OpenSuperQ, announced in 2018 which is aimed at designing, building, and operating a quantum information processing system of up to 100 qubits.

"As Europe's leading startup in quantum technologies, this gives us confidence to further invest in Germany and other European countries" said Dr. Jan Goetz, CEO of IQM Quantum Computers.

"DAQC is an important project for Germany and Europe. It enables us to take a leading role in the area of quantum technologies. It also allows us to bring quantum computing into one of the prime academic supercomputing centres to more effectively work on the important integration of high-performance computing and quantum computing."
