The announcement of the new quantum computer marks yet another stride forward in Luxembourg’s efforts to build Europe’s most trusted and connected data economy. Able to solve problems beyond the ability of even the most powerful classical computers, quantum computers represent the next technological evolution and are expected to substantially impact fields such as finance, defence, life sciences, telecommunications and manufacturing.

This investment allows us to build the skills and know-how needed to position Luxembourg as a key player in this new technological era.

“The installation of a quantum computer in Luxembourg represents a major step forward in our digital strategy, particularly in terms of data, artificial intelligence and quantum technologies,” said Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism Lex Delles, highlighting the strategic importance of this achievement. “By integrating it into our existing ecosystem, we are already preparing ourselves for the upcoming quantum revolution. This investment allows us to build the skills and know-how needed to position Luxembourg as a key player in this new technological era, with direct applications in crucial sectors such as cybersecurity and finance.”

Chemistry, personal medicine, artificial intelligence

The new Luxembourg quantum computer will be hosted and operated by LuxProvide, the company managing the country’s business-oriented supercomputer MeluXina. Named MeluXina-Q, the quantum computer will be integrated with MeluXina and available for general use. MeluXina-Q will initially feature a 10-qubit quantum processing unit (QPU), based on innovative technology built from silicon, thus ensuring a secure and scalable supply chain within the European Union. The device will explore, develop and test new algorithms to accelerate the resolution of complex problems in fields such as chemistry, personalised medicine and artificial intelligence. Its system will be able to evolve quickly enough to reach a total capacity of 80 qubits.

The combination of quantum expertise with MeluXina increases our competence and opens new avenues towards cutting-edge research.

The quantum computer will be co-funded by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), which coordinates the EU’s efforts to make Europe a world leader in supercomputing. “Winning this European call for tenders underlines LuxProvide’s leadership in the field of digital intelligence and our commitment to offering pioneering solutions beyond traditional technological boundaries,” says Arnaud Lambert, CEO of LuxProvide. “The combination of quantum expertise with MeluXina increases our competence and opens new avenues towards cutting-edge research, positioning Luxembourg at the forefront of the quantum era.”
