IBM Quantum System Two Launch Marks Europe’s Quantum Computing Breakthrough

IBM’s deployment of Europe’s most advanced quantum computer in Spain represents a pivotal moment for the continent’s technological future. The Quantum System Two launch accelerates Europe’s position in the emerging $850 billion quantum computing market. This strategic move supports the European Commission’s goal of global quantum leadership by 2030.

Europe’s quantum computing future arrives this month as IBM launches the continent’s first Quantum System Two at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center in San Sebastian, Spain. This deployment represents Europe’s most significant step yet toward quantum leadership, arriving as the global quantum computing market approaches an estimated $850 billion value by 2040 according to industry analysis. The timing coincides perfectly with UNESCO’s designation of 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, creating unprecedented momentum for European technological advancement.
