Quantum Sandbox Access
DeiC provides Danish academia with sandbox access to quantum computing resources through both VLQ and Microsoft Azure Quantum Cloud Service
DeiC provides Danish academia with sandbox access to quantum computing resources through both VLQ and Microsoft Azure Quantum. This access is intended for users who want to explore, learn, develop proof-of-concept applications, and test quantum workloads on different quantum computing technologies.
Through Microsoft Azure Quantum, provided via the European OCRE framework, users can access a diverse portfolio of quantum simulators and quantum computers from providers including Quantinuum, IonQ, Quantum Circuits Inc., Rigetti, and Pasqal.
Through VLQ, users can access a superconducting quantum computer hosted at IT4Innovations in the Czech Republic, providing an additional European quantum computing platform for testing and experimentation.
Sandbox access is primarily intended for exploration and smaller-scale testing. Users are encouraged to begin with simulators, where appropriate, before moving to quantum hardware. For projects requiring more substantial quantum computing resources or larger allocations, please see the dedicated access calls.
Looking for specialised access?
To accommodate differentiated access demands to different platforms and varying levels of how close to the actual quantum computing hardware this access should be, DeiC has implemented a two-stage model of providing access to quantum computing resources incl. heavy-duty simulator access on classical HPC systems. We have calls for specialised access to quantum computing facilities 1-2 times of each year.
Looking for more substantial access to VLQ?
For projects requiring more substantial access to VLQ beyond the sandbox level, DeiC provides dedicated access through the VLQ Access Call. The call enables researchers at Danish institutions to apply for larger allocations of QPU resources on VLQ, the superconducting quantum computer hosted at IT4Innovations in the Czech Republic.
QPU resources from VLQ are allocated on a quarterly basis, aligned with the way DeiC receives VLQ capacity as the Danish national broker.
The call is opened 1 time a year. Please see the current VLQ Access Call below for information about available QPU resources, eligibility, evaluation, application procedures, and deadlines.
Muyang Liu, Ph. D., Quantum Computing Infrastructure Developer
Muyang Liu, Ph.D., is a Quantum Computing Infrastructure Developer at DeiC and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Quantum Mathematics, SDU. She holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania, where her research focused on large-scale data computation in quantum field theory, integrating techniques for reducing data complexity inspired by pure mathematics. Currently, her work extends beyond theoretical foundations into practical applications of quantum technology, aiming to harness the potential of quantum computing for societal benefits.
Marina Moleti, Ph.D., IT Employee
Marina Moleti, Ph.D., is a IT Employee at DeiC. She holds a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from SISSA, where her research focused on quantum field theory and string theory, with particular emphasis on the use of algebraic geometry to study the mathematical structures underlying quantum field theories.
At DeiC, she supports researchers and industry users in exploring quantum computing technologies, with a particular focus on quantum algorithms, hardware–software pairing, and integrating quantum computing resources with high-performance computing infrastructure.
