European cloud provider OVHcloud has announced the commercial availability of Belenos, a 12-qubit photonic quantum computer developed by French hardware pioneer Quandela, on its public cloud infrastructure. Revealed at the Quantum Defence Summit, the integration expands OVHcloud’s dedicated Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) architecture by delivering native cloud-access to physical light-based quantum processors. By deploying this system within [...] The post OVHcloud Expands Sovereign QaaS Platform via Quandela’s Belenos Photonic System appeared first on Quantum Computing Report .
The increasing geopolitical competition in technology and the recognized strategic importance of quantum computing are driving European nations to build independent capabilities.
This move strengthens European self-reliance in cutting-edge quantum technology, reducing dependency on non-EU providers and potentially fostering domestic innovation and skilled labor.
OVHcloud now offers native cloud access to a physical, European-developed photonic quantum computer, expanding its QaaS platform and boosting the region's quantum computing infrastructure.
