OVHcloud will launch in September this year a quantum computing offer as a service. The QPU offer as a service (Qaas) will be based on the QPU Pasqal Orion Beta, which has a capacity of 100 qubits of neutral atoms, and will be available through the Quantum Cloud platform in Ovhcloud.
The company expects to have three QPUS available by the end of 2025, and with a minimum of eight by the end of 2027. Of them, seven will be in Europe, and will be offered to the customers of the service through a payment model per use.
The qpu orion beta has five modules, and a level of 10 kW energy consumption. The elementary data elements of the passqal qpus, quantum bits or qubits are laser refrigerated rubidium atoms, and individually insulated by leases directed, called optical tweezers.
The qubits are encoded in the electronic states of the atoms through laser rays, and are manipulated with lasers. The interaction of qubits with the light allows access to the best physical parameters, which according to the company that its quantum processor is “a unique tool to create or control complex quantum systems.” The system is able to function at a temperature between 20 and 22 degrees. For now, from Ovhcloud they have not offered details about the data centers that will house the Qpus Pasqal.
Ovhcloud also offers access to eight quantum emulators through its infrastructure, and recently added the Quobly Qleo emulator, as well as the Qperfec Mimq. Since 2022, they also have a quantum emulator of Atos in their cloud.
The company It also has a quantum computer from Quandela, Mosaiqwhich is currently using the OVHCloud R&D department and offers students. Mosaiq was launched in March 2024 and is in an OVH data center in Croix, in France.
