El proyecto, que se enmarca dentro de la iniciativa de Quantum Spain, estará instalado en el Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
Un nuevo hito para el sector tecnológico y de innovación fue anunciado este lunes en el Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023: el primer ordenador cuántico de España y el sur de Europa estará operativo en julio, permitiendo impulsar la investigación y el desarrollo de nuevas aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial.
Así lo confirmó la secretaria de Estado de Digitalización e Inteligencia Artificial, Carme Artigas, durante la primera jornada del evento que reúne a la industria tecnológica y de las telecomunicaciones en el país, asegurando que la iniciativa supone “un paso sin precedentes para crear un ecosistema en España atractivo para el talento y la inversión. Una apuesta de futuro que permitirá fortalecer el desarrollo tecnológico e industrial en España y crear empleo de alta cualificación, uno de nuestros grandes objetivos”.
El proyecto se enmarca dentro de la elección de España por parte de la European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) como uno de los seis países europeos que albergarán y operarán los primeros ordenadores cuánticos EuroHPC, para lo que el país contará con una inversión de 12,5 millones de euros (financiada entre la Unión Europea y el Gobierno de España en partes iguales).
El nuevo ordenador cuántico es parte de la iniciativa Quantum Spain y se instalará en el Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS), integrándose en el superordenador MareNostrum 5, el más potente del país. Mateo Valero, director del BSC, comentó que «la instalación de este nuevo ordenador refuerza el papel del BSC como uno de los líderes de la supercomputación en Europa. Nos permitirá añadir nuevas capacidades a la Red Española de Supercomputación y, por encima de todo, nos permite seguir contribuyendo a la estrategia europea de soberanía digital”.
La instalación del ordenador cuántico estará a cargo de dos compañías españolas, la startup Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech y la tecnológica GMV, que formaron una Unión Temporal de Empresas (UTE) para el propósito. Se espera que esté operativo en julio, para dar acceso la comunidad investigadora, a empresas y a organismos públicos.
Qilimanjaro, dedicada a desarrollar ordenadores cuánticos con acceso a la nube, fue nombrada el año pasado como una de las cinco startups a nivel mundial con potencial para influir en la industria de la computación cuántica, según el informe StartUs Insights 2022.
Su co-fundador y CBO, Víctor Canivell, señaló que “el ordenador cuántico que proveemos al proyecto Quantum Spain permite extender las capacidades de cálculo de la Red Española de Supercomputación al nuevo paradigma de cálculo cuántico, constituyendo un ejemplo pionero en Europa de computación híbrida de supercomputación y cuántica”.
Por su parte, GMV se encargará de la infraestructura de sistemas convencionales y de las redes necesarias para la operación del ordenador cuántico. José María Legido, director del área internacional de Secure e-Solutions de la compañía, expresó que “el compromiso de GMV en este proyecto pionero en España se suma a nuestra importante apuesta en el campo de la computación cuántica, donde estamos ya liderando el proyecto Misiones Grandes Empresas CUCO del CDTI para el desarrollo empresarial del uso de la computación cuántica, en el que ya colaboramos con Qilimanjaro, y que ahora extendemos conjuntamente al contexto de la excelencia en el mundo académico”.
Manuel Martínez, líder técnico de la UTE entre ambas empresas, apuntó que “la construcción y puesta en marcha de las dos unidades del ordenador cuántico que instalaremos en el BSC constituye un reto tecnológico de primer orden, que afrontamos con el compromiso de que este proyecto sea un éxito completo y proporcione la plataforma adecuada para impulsar de forma decidida el desarrollo de la computación cuántica en España».
