The arrival of hardware at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre marks a pivotal transition for planqc's neutral-atom architecture, moving from demonstration to reliable deployment within a supercomputing environment. This milestone validates the scalability of neutral-atom systems without extensive cryogenic cooling, positioning them as viable co-processors alongside traditional HPC resources. The project's progression toward Technology Readiness Levels 6–7 underscores the maturation of this specific quantum computing approach for practical application.
Planqc’s 1,000-qubit system gains first hardware at LRZ

Hardware for the MAQCS project, advancing planqc’s 1,000-qubit neutral-atom quantum computer, has arrived at LRZ.
Approximately 800 kilograms of equipment, including a custom server cabinet, laser hardware, and a computing rack, has arrived at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, marking a shift from demonstration to deployment for planqc’s 1,000-qubit neutral-atom quantum computer. The delivery…
