PRESS RELEASE — OVHcloud, the European Cloud leader, announced at France Quantum 2024 updates to its Quantum Notebooks portfolio.
To further support the rapid growth and development of quantum computing, OVHcloud adds a new Quantum Notebook supporting the IBM-developed open-source QiskitTM SDK. This new addition completes OVHcloud already impressive set of Quantum Notebooks available in the Cloud, including Alice & Bob, C12, Eviden, Pasqal and Quandela. OVHcloud is one of IBM’s recommended notebook environment solution for users of the IBM Quantum Lab, which was sunset on 15 May, 2024.
Leveraging state of the art technologies, OVHcloud offers developers and students alike the opportunity to develop today, the algorithms of tomorrow. With the notebooks designed to program a wide variety of Quantum computer architectures, OVHcloud continues to support the development of a truly vibrant Quantum ecosystem. The addition of Qiskit, the most-used Quantum development framework in the world, allows for programmers to create software using the Python development language to program Quantum computers, including algorithms, circuits and pulses.
The Quantum Notebook with Qiskit is available now from the OVHcloud Public Cloud universe. Registered startups within the OVHcloud Startup Program can access the Qiskit SDK, through the Quantum Notebook now. Eligible students can get free access to the whole range of OVHcloud Quantum Notebooks, including Qiskit.

MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE

OVHcloud is a French cloud computing company and the largest European cloud provider, offering a comprehensive suite of public, private, and hybrid cloud solutions, bare metal servers, and web hosting services. Founded in 1999, it plays an essential role in the space economy by partnering with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to host massive Earth observation and satellite data platforms, such as the Copernicus long term archiving service and the Digital EO system, which aggregates storage, computing power, and AI tools for space research.

Alice&Bob are working towards building an error corrected, fault tolerant quantum computer. They are working with superconducting circuits called ‘Cat Qubits’ which reduce the hardware required for error correction. With a cat Qubit, it is possible to stabilize two particular states in which quantum information is encoded autonomously.

C12QE uses carbon nanotubes as the fundamental building blocks for a scalable quantum computer.

PASQAL’s quantum computers control neutral atoms with optical tweezers using lasers to manipulate quantum registers with up to a few hundred qubits. Location in Boston MA.

Quandela is a French startup that specializes in photonic quantum computing by providing modular, scalable, and energy-efficient photonic quantum computers, accessible both on the cloud and on premise. They provide prototyping services with their Perceval simulator alongside their general purpose chips optimized chips, and development of algorithms and protocols which provide photonic solutions for applications ranging from pharmaceutical and material design, to quantum machine learning, networking and optimization.

IBM is an iconic technology pioneer founded in 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company and officially renamed International Business Machines Corporation in 1924. Beyond foundational computing, IBM possesses a deep legacy in aerospace and defense from building the guidance computers and Instrument Unit for NASA's historic Apollo missions to partnering with Airbus on CIMON, the first AI assistant on the ISS.
