Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), GENCI and CEA announce today that they will provide access to hardware-agnostic (EVIDEN QaptivaTM) and hardware-specific (PASQAL Pulser) programming and emulation environments as part of the pan-European hybrid HPC/quantum pilot project HPCQS. These first services will allow European research communities to prepare for the arrival of two twin 100+-qubit PASQAL quantum simulators, one at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (FZJ/JSC) and one at CEA/TGCC, by the end of this year. In between, FZJ, GENCI and CEA will gradually deploy additional noisy emulators of such type of Fresnel analog quantum computers based on the technology of neutral atoms and will provide remote access to an identical Fresnel system hosted by PASQAL. ...
