Equal1 and the Irish Centre for Excessive-Finish Computing (ICHEC) have signed a memorandum of understanding that may see each entities work collectively to advance the deployment of excessive efficiency computing and quantum computing (HPC-QC) in Eire and Europe to drive technical innovation, handle advanced scientific and industrial challenges and preserve international competitiveness. This collaboration will take the type of:
Participating collectively with different stakeholders to hunt national-level funding and assist for the operation and providers of HPC-QC platforms for enterprise, tutorial and public sector organisations.
Leveraging nationwide and European programmes to collaboratively develop and have interaction in R&D on Equal1’s quantum computer systems and subsequent upgrades via 2026.
Accelerating Quantum-HPC integration by conducting joint RD&I tasks in the direction of interoperable coupling and interfacing HPC supercomputers with QC programs.
Allow Eire to develop and deploy HPC-QC platforms and providers for nationwide customers via synergy with the Nationwide Technique for Quantum Know-how, EU Quantum initiatives (e.g. Quantum Flagship, EuroHPC JU) and international actions (e.g. IEEE Quantum).
Commenting on the settlement, Venkatesh Kannan, affiliate director, ICHEC mentioned: “ICHEC has a observe document since 2018 of strongly positioning Eire in European and worldwide R&I actions by growing and interfacing HPC and QC applied sciences in {hardware} and software program infrastructure in addition to their use-cases and expertise improvement.
He continued: “The final word beneficiaries of the Equal1-ICHEC partnership might be nationwide customers throughout academia, trade and public sector for analysis, innovation and competence improvement, propelling the realisation of Eire’s Quantum 2030 Nationwide Technique.”

Jason Lynch, CEO of Equal1, mentioned: “This collaboration marks a major leap in driving ahead innovation and positioning Eire and Europe on the forefront of the worldwide quantum race. Quantum know-how has already proven its potential to materially speed up development in areas the place Eire and Europe are at the moment leaders, surpassing the capabilities of standard computing.
“By working carefully with ICHEC, we intention to create a strong ecosystem that integrates high-performance computing and quantum computing, persevering with our journey to make quantum computing accessible and sensible for real-world functions.”
