European cloud provider OVHcloud is bringing Quandela's Belenos quantum computer to its cloud-based Quantum Platform.
Key facts
- OVH's Quantum Platform was launched by the company in November 2025, at the time with plans to offer access to eight quantum computers
- Other QPUs offering include the Pasqal Orion Beta QPU, which has a capacity of 100 neural atom qubits
- According to the company, it offers 4,000 times more computing power than its predecessor and is operated at the CEA’s Très Grand Centre de Calcul (TGCC)
- Belenos is a photonic quantum computer with 12 qubits of compute power, and is aimed at enabling organizations to experiment with new algorithms for image sorting and generation, accelerated AI
Summary
Belenos is a photonic quantum computer with 12 qubits of compute power, and is aimed at enabling organizations to experiment with new algorithms for image sorting and generation, accelerated AI calculus, or quantum machine learning (QML), among others. The newest QPU will be offered as-a-service, with pay-as-you-go billing. "We are delighted to deliver on the promise of the Quantum Platform by adding a second reference quantum computer, Belenos, from the French company Quandela. “The integration of Belenos 12 qubits into the OVHcloud portfolio marks a decisive step for quantum in Europe," added Niccolò Somaschi, CEO and co-founder of Quandela.
