Quandela livre Lucy, l’ordinateur quantique photonique le plus puissant au monde, à EuroHPC et au GENCI, et l’installe au TGCC du CEA
法国量子计算公司Quandela、法国国家大型计算中心GENCI以及法国原子能与替代能源委员会CEA今日联合宣布，全球最强大的光子量子计算机"Lucy"已正式交付并安装在位于埃松省布鲁耶尔勒沙泰勒的CEA超大型计算中心。该系统由法德联合体Quandela – attocube systems AG提供，由欧洲高性能计算联合事业体通过EuroQCS-France联盟采购。
Lucy是一台基于光子的通用数字量子计算机，拥有12个量子比特。此次交付标志着欧洲在量子计算硬件部署方面迈出关键一步，该设备将集成至CEA现有的高性能计算基础设施中，为法国及欧洲的研究机构提供量子计算资源。
French quantum computing startup Quandela has delivered Lucy, a 12-qubit universal digital photonic quantum computer, to the Very Large Computing Centre (TGCC) operated by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in Bruyères-le-Châtel. The system was acquired by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking through the EuroQCS-France consortium.
Lucy, developed by the Franco-German consortium Quandela – attocube systems AG, is described as the world's most powerful photonic quantum computer. Its installation at the CEA's TGCC marks a significant step in providing European researchers with advanced quantum computing resources. The delivery is part of a broader EuroHPC initiative to establish a pan-European quantum computing infrastructure.
Quandela, GENCI et le CEA annoncent aujourd’hui la livraison de Lucy, un ordinateur quantique photonique universel numérique de 12 qubits, au Très Grand Centre de calcul (TGCC) du CEA situé à Bruyères le Chatel (91). Le système, fourni par le consortium franco-allemand Quandela – attocube systems AG, a été acquis par l’EuroHPC Joint Undertaking dans le cadre du consortium EuroQCS-France.
