IBM has inaugurated in Donostia-San Sebastián theIBM Quantum System Two, un ordinador quàntic de 156 qubits (xip Heron) que situa Espanya ,i Europa, en la cursa pels usos really useful of quantum. It is the first System Two in Europe and one of the most advanced in the world. The installation is part of the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center and opens the door to new applications in energy, industry, health and AI, with global access via Qiskit.
Beyond the headline, what changes? The System Two is designed to scale and integrate multiple processors in the future, allowing it to run “utility” algorithms que superen el que es pot simular amb sistemes clàssics. Per a l’ecosistema tecnològic de l’Estat ,i especialment d’Euskadi, és un pas de gegant: talent local, recerca aplicada i col·laboració amb empreses podran provar casos d’ús reals (optimització energètica, materials, logística, desenvolupament de fàrmacs…) en una plataforma de primer nivell mundial.
It is also a milestone strategic: Spain enters the short map of the major quantum nodes (USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, Korea...), strengthening the European position in a field where the speed of innovation is key. And yes, it is just beginning: qubits are still delicate and error correction is the great challenge, but the path to useful quantum It's already here.
