This deployment marks a significant milestone for sovereign quantum infrastructure, integrating high-throughput Nighthawk r2 processors directly with existing classical supercomputing resources at CSCS. The partnership establishes a dedicated hybrid environment designed to accelerate defense R&D in GPS-denied navigation and materials science while expanding access for academic researchers across Switzerland. By leveraging offset agreements from defense procurement, the initiative secures utility-scale quantum capabilities without relying solely on cloud-only models.

IBM and Lockheed Martin Partner with ETH Zurich to Deploy Switzerland’s First IBM Quantum System Two

Quantum Computing ReportSeptember 10, 20262 min read

IBM and Lockheed Martin, in an agreement with armasuisse, are establishing a national quantum innovation hub at ETH Zurich, featuring Switzerland's first on-premises IBM Quantum System Two by late 2026. This system, powered by the Nighthawk r2 processor, will be installed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano, providing a quantum-centric supercomputing environment for hybrid classical-quantum workflows. The initiative, funded by Swiss defense procurement, aims to advance quantum research and includes dedicated defense R&D programs.
