ETH Zurich to host IBM Quantum System Two in Lugano
ETH Zurich will host an IBM Quantum System Two, powered by an IBM Nighthawk processor, at the CSCS Swiss National Supercomputing Centre in Lugano. The installation, funded through an offset agreement between Lockheed Martin and armasuisse, will operate for three years and provide access to researchers and selected Swiss companies. The system aims to advance research in materials science, chemistry, and quantum computing, and to support training of future quantum talent.
