The IBM Quantum System Two will be powered by IBM’s Heron processor,
The IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center was established in 2023 to promote the use of advanced technology across the Basque Country. It supports international research collaborations and increases the number of quantum-trained professionals in the region. IBM and the Basque Government are also working on workforce development programs to enhance expertise in quantum computing. The installation of IBM Quantum System Two is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, providing Spain’s quantum research community with powerful tools to advance scientific discovery and technological innovation.
