The brief

Analyst view
  • LYNX Series achieved Quantum Volume 32,768 in May 2026, the highest QV for any quantum computer designed and built in Europe.
  • Rack-mounted design with no specialized cryogenic infrastructure beyond internal cooling.
  • First units available to strategic partners Q4 2026 via AQT Cloud and cloud partners.

Technical approach

As reported
Ion trap

Calcium-40 ions in Paul traps

Charged atoms held by electric fields, manipulated with laser pulses. Long coherence times and high gate fidelity enable quantum computations.

Rack format

19-inch standard form factor

Designed to integrate into existing HPC centers and datacenters without requiring specialized facilities or cryogenic systems beyond the internal cooling unit.

Gate engineering

Noise-resistant two-qubit gates

Proprietary gate designs reduce sensitivity to laser frequency and phase noise, enabling longer quantum circuits with lower error rates.
