Quantum Inspire 2.0 is live with updated software and hardware

10 February 2025

A new, intuitive web interface, integration of popular SDKs and functionality to seamlessly integrate quantum and classical computing are just some of the improvements in Quantum Inspire, Europe’s only freely available quantum computer in the cloud. The software updates and the introduction of two new quantum computers, collectively known as Quantum Inspire 2.0, were festively unveiled during an inauguration event, organised by QuTech and TNO. Director Holland High Tech, Leo Warmerdam moderated the day and had the honour of pressing ‘RUN’ on the first piece of code that had to be executed on Quantum Inspire 2.0.

Leo Warmerdam:

QuTech is at the forefront of quantum technology research. As the Dutch triple helix collaboration continues to develop, it is great to see valorisation becoming a reality, as evidenced by the successful quantum startups that have already been founded. Quantum Inspire is a prime example. With this technological advancement, the relaunch comes at just the right time. Now let’s grow the traffic exponentially!

Quantum Inspire

Since its initial launch in April 2020, QuTech’s quantum computing demonstrator Quantum Inspire, a collaboration between Delft University of Technology and TNO, has been actively engaging the quantum research, education and enthusiast community. At www.quantum-inspire.com it provides users with free cloud access to various technologies for performing quantum computations and offers them insights into the principles of quantum computing.

Additionally, as a full-stack system, it serves as an important testbed for advancing quantum computing technology by collaboration between academia and industry.
