• Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT)andScalewayhave established a partnership to integrate theIBEX Q1trapped-ion quantum processing unit (QPU) into Scaleway’s Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform. • This deployment provides industrial and research organizations with access to universal quantum hardware hosted on European sovereign cloud infrastructure. • The integration is designed to support high-performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing hybrid workflows, utilizing AQT’s hardware in coordination with Scaleway’s classical computing resources. • The IBEX Q1 system utilizes trapped-ion technology characterized by all-to-all qubit connectivity and high gate fidelity. • The hardware is accessible through standard open-source frameworks, including Qiskit, Cirq, and Pennylane, requiring no prior reservations for execution during specified operational windows. • Currently, the device is available for cloud-based processing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10:00 and 17:00 CET, targeting users within European time zones to minimize latency in development cycles.
Article Summaries:
- Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) has partnered with Scaleway to embed its IBEX Q1 trapped‑ion quantum processing unit (QPU) into Scaleway’s Quantum‑as‑a‑Service (QaaS) platform. The move gives European industrial and research organisations access to a universal QPU hosted on sovereign cloud infrastructure, enabling hybrid high‑performance computing (HPC) and quantum workflows. The IBEX Q1, featuring all‑to‑all qubit connectivity and high gate fidelity, is available via open‑source frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, Pennylane) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10:00‑17:00 CET. The partnership targets optimisation, materials simulation and financial modelling, while meeting European data‑residency and regulatory requirements.
