Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, the quantum computing spin-off of Institut de Física d’Altes Energies, Barcelona Supercomputing Center and Universitat de Barcelona, has participated in the deployment of the new 35-qubit processor integrated into the MareNostrum Ona quantum infrastructure at Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

The new system, developed within the Quantum Spain initiative and installed by the Qilimanjaro-GMV consortium, marks the completion of the technological roadmap of the project and reinforces open access to quantum computing resources through the Spanish Supercomputing Network. The infrastructure is constituted in its final form within the Quantum Spain Project, by a 20 qubit quantum computer (named “Blau”) and a 35 qubit quantum computer (named “Grana”) to provide uninterrupted service to researchers, companies and public institutions in order to run algorithms on real quantum hardware integrated into the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer.

Manel Martínez, researcher at Institut de Física d’Altes Energies and member of the Quantum Computing Technologies Group at IFAE, has been since the very beginning of the project, and continues to be, the Project Leader of the initiative within the Qilimanjaro-GMV Consortium.

The milestone represents a further step in the consolidation of a quantum computing ecosystem in Spain, combining superconducting quantum hardware, high-performance computing infrastructure and open access for scientific and technological users.
