The Basque Government and IBM (IBM) unveiled the first IBM Quantum System Two in Europe at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center in San Sebastian. The installation of this system marks a milestone in the partnership between the two parties, which began in 2023 within the framework of the Basque Quantum initiative, promoted by the Basque Government to help make Euskadi an international hub for quantum technologies. The system installed on the Ikerbasque Foundation’s main campus, at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center, was inaugurated at a ceremony. This IBM Quantum System Two installation is only the second such deployment outside the US. It is powered by a 156-qubit IBM Quantum Heron processor, one of the best performing quantum processors developed by the company, to date. Designed to be scalable and integrate multiple processors in the future, this system marks a technological milestone by enabling the execution of utility-scale algorithms, surpassing the capabilities of classical brute-force simulation.
