Denmark is investing in the future of quantum computing by launching an initiative named QuNorth, backed by €80 million from EIFO and the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The project aims to establish the first 'Level 2' quantum system in the Nordic region, named Magne, which will be developed by Microsoft and Atom Computing. Magne is anticipated to feature around 50 logical qubits and more than 1,200 physical qubits, potentially setting records in quantum technology. This initiative emphasizes the importance of combining logical and physical qubits for enhanced stability and performance in quantum calculations.
Backed by €80mn from EIFO and the Novo Nordisk Foundation, Denmark's initiative QuNorth aims to build the world's most powerful quantum computer with Microsoft and Atom Computing.
The new quantum system, Magne, will include around 50 logical qubits and over 1,200 physical qubits, positioning it as a leading contender in the quantum computing realm.
Logical qubits are crucial as they provide error correction by combining multiple fragile physical qubits, enhancing stability and reliability for quantum calculations in advanced systems.
No existing machines have combined high records of physical and logical qubits, but Magne could achieve this unprecedented milestone, marking a significant advancement in quantum technology.
