Research center Forschungszentrum Jülich and University of Siegen spin-off eleQtron GmbH have officially brought the JION (Jülich trapped-ION) quantum computer into operation at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). Integrated into the JUNIQ (Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing) platform, the gate-based trapped-ion processor is linked directly to JSC’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) supercomputing cluster—including the JUPITER exascale system—to enable hybrid quantum-classical workloads across transport optimization, materials science, and chemical simulation.
