The first IBM Quantum System One installed in Europe is now available to companies and research organizations that wish to develop and test applied quantum algorithms and gather expertise.
In a joint project with IBM, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will operate the quantum computer, installed in a center near Stuttgart, in Ehningen in Baden-Württemberg, under German data protection law.
To access the computer, companies need a license agreement with Fraunhofer. The price structure is based on a monthly ticket. All processed data remain stored locally in Germany.
