Quandela launches Belenos, a 12-qubit photonic quantum computer accessible via cloud to 1,200+ users

Quandela/Belenos

Quandela deployed Belenos, a 12-qubit photonic quantum computer, to cloud access, making it available to over 1,200 researchers and companies across 30 countries. The system delivers 4,000 times the computing power of Quandela's 2022 6-qubit system and will be integrated into France's TGCC supercomputing facility by the end of 2025 via EuroHPC funding.

• Belenos achieves 4,000x power increase over 6-qubit predecessor (2022)
• 25% of early users come from commercial sector, testing applications in materials science, combustion modeling, and image generation
• System will be installed in CEA's supercomputing center, accessible alongside classical HPC infrastructure
