Horizon Quantum Expands Hardware Testbed with 256-Qubit Trapped-Ion System Placement in Ireland

Integrated software infrastructure pioneer Horizon Quantum Holdings Ltd. has announced plans to deploy its second hardware testbed location at its European headquarters in Dublin, Ireland. The facility will host a sixth-generation, chip-based 256-qubit trapped-ion system developed by IonQ. Backed by Ireland’s National Semiconductor Strategy (Silicon Island) and supported by IDA Ireland, the hardware expansion builds directly upon the company’s existing multi-vendor superconducting testbed array assembled at its Singapore headquarters. It aims to accelerate the deployment of high-fidelity, hardware-agnostic coding applications across the European Union deep-tech corridor.
