IBM and Basque Government to Deploy Europe’s First IBM Quantum System Two

March 14, 2025

The Basque Government and IBM will install Europe’s first IBM Quantum System Two at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center in San Sebastian, Spain, with deployment expected by the end of 2025.

The system, powered by IBM’s Heron processor, will enable utility-scale quantum computing and support algorithm development aligned with the Basque Country’s IKUR 2030 vision.

The center will provide Spain’s quantum researchers, industries, and academic institutions with access to advanced quantum technologies, fostering workforce development and international research collaboration.

IBM and the Basque Government are developing educational programs to train quantum talent in Spain and promote the region as a global quantum computing hub.

PRESS RELEASE — The Basque Government, and IBM today announced plans to install Europe’s first IBM Quantum System Two at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center on Ikerbasque Foundation’s main campus in San Sebastian, Spain (Gipuzkoa, Spain). The deployment builds on the organizations’ partnership, which began in 2023 as part of the BasQ initiative to further establish the Basque Country as a leading technology hub. Since the initial announcement, the parties have agreed to update the original plan to install an IBM Quantum System One, to now deploy IBM’s most advanced modular quantum computer, IBM Quantum System Two, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2025.

BasQ’s IBM Quantum System Two, to be managed by IBM, will be powered by an IBM Quantum Heron, the company’s most performant quantum processor to date, engineered to expand to multiple processors in the future. IBM Heron is capable of executing utility-scale algorithms beyond the capabilities of brute-force, classical simulation methods, including leveraging Qiskit software to accurately run certain classes of quantum circuits with up to 5,000 two-qubit gate operations.

This installation dedicated to Spain’s quantum innovators across academia, research labs, and industries represents IBM’s continued effort to expand Europe’s quantum ecosystem. Members of the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center will have access to these capabilities and resources to help build a quantum workforce, promote economic development, and develop new, useful algorithms to, in turn, help accomplish the Basque Country Government’s IKUR 2030 vision for quantum technologies. These efforts in algorithm development would be directly applied toward accomplishing IKUR 2030 goals, such as research into modeling new materials, research into how quantum computing can be used as part of the initiative’s broader sustainability efforts.

“With this scientific infrastructure, the Basque Country will be positioned as a global reference hub in quantum computing. This technology will help progress in the digital transformation and provide us with a state-of-the-art scientific infrastructure that will strengthen the scientific, technological and innovation ecosystem that must facilitate this transformation. The IBM Quantum System Two will be a key tool for the Basque Network for Science, Technology and Innovation to generate cutting-edge knowledge in the Basque Country, to implement highly specialized higher education programs at our universities, and to be prepared for the impact of quantum computing in the coming years by both the Basque public sector and the industry. The arrival of this computer will be a great opportunity for the Basque Country’s economic and social development and will enable us to cooperate with other regions, countries and actors in the development and impact of this technology,” said the President of the Basque Country Government, Mr. Imanol Pradales.

“The IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center’s dedicated IBM Quantum System Two will give Spain’s quantum community of researchers, developers, and industry experts unparalleled access to our most performant, most advanced quantum technologies—including the tools to develop algorithms that will help drive the entire quantum ecosystem toward achieving a quantum advantage within the next two years,” said Jay Gambetta, Vice President, IBM Quantum.

About the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center

The IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center was announced in 2023 to promote the use of advanced technology across all the Basque Country Government and the General Deputations (Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa), further elevating research institutions by expanding international research collaborations, performing world-class fundamental scientific research, and increasing the quantum-trained talent in the region. The center will provide computational infrastructure for researchers from the Basque Government and its partners to help researchers meet these goals.

IBM and the Basque Government are also collaborating to develop workforce programs aimed at building and establishing world-class talent in the Basque Country and across Spain. The IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center programs are driving internal and external awareness, education, and skill building through the development of immersive and integrated learning programs.

IBM's latest quantum computer is now powerful enough for useful scientific research, scientists say, after the company made significant hardware and software improvements to its quantum system.

The new system is made of two parts: a new 156-qubit quantum processing unit (QPU) called R2 IBM Heron (the second generation of a chip launched last year); and Qiskit — a collection of software tools and algorithms designed to optimize quantum computing performance.

The result is a new system that can perform tasks up to 50 times faster than previous efforts, according to benchmarking data. For reference, in IBM's 2023 quantum utility experiment, published in the journal Nature, its most powerful quantum computer at the time took 122 hours to run workloads in the benchmark. The new system, fitted with the R2 Heron QPU, took just 2.4 hours.

The new quantum computers, based in IBM's data centers based around the world can tackle scientific problems across materials, chemistry, life sciences, high-energy physics and more domains, IBM representatives said in a statement.

"Advances across IBM Quantum hardware and Qiskit are enabling our users to build new algorithms in which advanced quantum and classical supercomputing resources can be knit together to combine their respective strengths," Jay Gambetta, vice president for IBM Quantum, said in the statement.
Next-generation quantum processing

The R2 Heron QPU is fitted with 156 qubits arranged in a heavy-hexagonal lattice — a topological structure that IBM uses for all its quantum processors. This enables the system to reliably execute quantum circuits of up to 5,000 two-qubit gates — which is nearly double the 2,880 two-qubit gates in the 2023 utility experiment, powered by the 127-qubit Eagle QPU.

Two-qubit gates are essential to unlocking the exponential power of a quantum computer — in which the more qubits there are fitted into a system, the more calculations can run in parallel. Single qubit gates allow for individual qubits to rotate or flip their states, while two-qubit gates operating in pairs of qubits tap into the laws of quantum mechanics to enable entanglement between them. While single-qubit gates can function on a basic level, utilizing two-qubit gates can enable a quantum computer to perform far more complex calculations.

The new R2 Heron chip also features "two-level system mitigation," which helps to reduce the impact of disturbances to the qubits interacting with the materials surrounding them. The system also benefits from software improvements to error correction — namely, the use of Qiskit's tensor error network mitigation algorithm (TEM).

Further software improvements, including the launch of the latest generation of the runtime engine, optimizing data movement and the introduction of parametric compiling, mean the new system can run at 150,000 circuit layer operations per second (CLOPS). In comparison, base performance was just 950 CLOPS in 2022 and 37,000 CLOPS earlier this year when optimizing data movement was first introduced.
Quantum-centric supercomputing

IBM representatives claim that the latest developments feed into their vision of developing "quantum-centric" supercomputers — which combine quantum and classical computers to achieve viable results sooner than they would by using only quantum computers. .


This is because hybrid systems can address workloads in parallel, breaking down complex algorithms by assigning parts of the task to the half of the system for which they are best suited. Once these chunks are solved, the software layer seamlessly stitches the problems back together.
