OVHcloud Launches Quandela's Belenos Quantum Computer as a Service

OVHcloud has integrated Quandela's Belenos photonic quantum computer into its Quantum Platform, offering it as a pay-as-you-go service. Belenos features 12 qubits and aims to facilitate advancements in quantum machine learning and AI. Miroslaw Klaba, OVHcloud's R&D Director, emphasized the significance of this addition for European quantum computing. The Belenos system is designed to allow organizations to experiment with new algorithms and enhance computational capabilities. Quandela's Belenos is reported to provide 4,000 times the computing power of its predecessor, with plans to increase its qubit count significantly by 2026. This move follows OVHcloud's launch of its Quantum Platform in late 2025, which aims to democratize access to quantum computing technology. The integration of Belenos marks a pivotal step in OVHcloud's strategy to lead in the European cloud market.

Key Points: • OVHcloud now offers Quandela's Belenos quantum computer as a cloud service. • Belenos features 12 qubits and is aimed at enhancing AI and quantum machine learning. • The system provides 4,000 times more computing power than its predecessor.
