Trzech mężczyzn i jedna kobieta w średnim wieku siedzą przy stole, podpisując dokumenty. Osoba po lewej, ubrana w jasną koszulę, pochyla się nad stołem, skupiona na podpisywaniu. Kobieta w jasnej marynarce, siedząca obok niego, również podpisuje dokument, a po jej prawej stronie dwóch mężczyzn w garniturach również jest zajętych tym samym zadaniem.

PIAST-Q quantum computer

PIAST-Q is a EuroHPC quantum computer located in PCSS, Poznan, Poland.

This quantum computer is based on trapped-ions. Here electromagnetic fields trap charged atoms (ions) that are manipulated by high precision lasers to perform quantum operations providing long coherence times. Trapped-ion systems are known for their accuracy and are being developed for various quantum computing tasks.

The new system provides several unique features making it attractive for end-users providing high fidelity qubits, long coherence times, universal quantum gates and all-to-all connectivity support. New hybrid quantum-classical use cases and benchmarks will be supported, including but not limited to quantum optimisation, quantum chemistry, quantum material sciences and quantum machine learning.

The image displays a wide shot of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England, under a clear blue sky. The magnificent building, with its distinctive Indo-Saracenic architectural style, features numerous domes, minarets, and ornate detailing, all painted in a light, possibly white or cream, color. In the foreground, a vibrant green lawn stretches across the bottom of the frame, providing a lush contrast to the building. In the bottom left corner, there's an orange-colored graphic element that resembles a stylized circuit or network connection, leading towards the center. In the bottom right corner, the text "tnc25" is prominently displayed in white.
