By placing this IonQ 256-qubit system at its European headquarters, Horizon Quantum aims to benefit from Ireland’s growing quantum ecosystem, strong university network, and robust talent pool for deep-tech development, both within the country and across the EU.

Horizon Quantum believes the installation of this frontier system will be a significant technology milestone for the nation, positioning Ireland to play an increasingly prominent role in frontier quantum computing.

Minister Peter Burke, Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, said: “I welcome Horizon Quantum’s decision to locate its second quantum computer testbed in Dublin. This significant investment reinforces Ireland’s position at the forefront of advanced technologies and reflects the strength of our growing quantum ecosystem, world-class research base, and highly skilled workforce. The establishment of one of the most advanced commercial quantum systems here is an important milestone that will support innovation, collaboration, and economic growth, while further enhancing Ireland’s ambition to be a global hub for cutting-edge technologies. This also aligns with our strategic focus in Silicon Island—Ireland’s National Semiconductor Strategy —on harnessing opportunities in rapidly evolving fields, including quantum technologies.”

IonQ’s sixth-generation, chip-based 256-qubit trapped-ion system is anticipated to be among the most sophisticated quantum computers globally. With its expected qubit count and high gate fidelities, the system could be capable of solving some challenging computational problems. By integrating this system with its software infrastructure, Horizon Quantum plans to expand support for trapped-ion systems in its integrated development environment, Triple Alpha, and to enhance the real-time runtime capabilities of its execution stack—furthering the company’s mission to unlock broad quantum advantage with its software infrastructure.
