Swedish Quantum Computer to be Made Available to Industry  By Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), January 23, 2023

Said Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology director Per Delsing, “We’re therefore going to build a copy of our quantum computer and make it available as a test bed for companies and researchers to run algorithms."

A copy of the quantum computer at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden will be built using additional funding from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The new computer, accompanied by a quantum helpdesk, will allow Swedish companies and researchers to solve problems using quantum technology.

Under the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) initiative, since 2018 a large project to develop and build a Swedish quantum computer has been running at Chalmers University of Technology. The Chalmers quantum computer now has 25 quantum bits, or qubits. The target is 100 qubits by 2029 but, even with 25 bits, running quantum algorithms on the computer is interesting. The problem is that the machine is rarely available, as researchers are constantly working to develop it.

"We're therefore going to build a copy of our quantum computer and make it available as a test bed for companies and researchers to run algorithms. Its purpose is to raise Sweden's competence level in quantum technology and lower the threshold for using quantum computers," says Per Delsing, a professor at Chalmers and director of WACQT.
