The Czech Republic will host European quantum computers for EuroHPC

Quantum computers are expected to be available to researchers and industry by the second half of 2023. 

The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has announced the selection of 6 sites to host the first European quantum computers. The Czech Republic was selected together with Germany, Spain, France, Italy and Poland. European quantum computers will be integrated into existing supercomputers, creating a wide network across Europe. The planned investment is over 100 million EUR, half of which comes from the EU and the other half from the 17 countries that are part of the EuroHPC JU. The new quantum computers are expected to be available to researchers and industry by the second half of 2023. 

New European quantum computers are to help achieve the goals of the European Digital Decade. Within the computing section, the aim is to have the first quantum acceleration computer by 2025. This is a purely European initiative, as quantum computers will be made entirely of European hardware and software and will employ European technologies developed within the financial EU's quantum initiatives.
