University of Southern Denmark Secures Access to Quantinuum Helios for Fault-Tolerant Algorithm R&D

University of Southern Denmark Secures Access to Quantinuum Helios for Fault-Tolerant Algorithm R&D

The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) has partnered with hardware developer Quantinuum and the Danish e-Infrastructure Consortium (DeiC) to integrate the Quantinuum Helios trapped-ion quantum computing platform into Denmark's national research infrastructure. Supported by dedicated funding coordinated through DeiC in alignment with the Danish government's national strategy for quantum technology, the project, titled "Implementing TQFTs [...] The post University of Southern Denmark Secures Access to Quantinuum Helios for Fault-Tolerant Algorithm R&D appeared first on Quantum Computing Report

Why this matters
