QPU as a Service
Quantum Processing Units (QPU)
Access real-world quantum computers through a unified cloud platform.
Test, refine and deploy your algorithms seamlessly, from simulation to execution.
Why use quantum computers?
Resolve complex issues faster
Quantum computing isn’t meant to replace legacy systems, but instead complements them by tackling categories of problems that traditional supercomputers struggle to solve. From logistics optimisation and materials simulation to financial modelling and advanced machine learning, QPUs offer new insights that were previously unattainable. For organisations facing major computational challenges, it’s an opportunity to gain a tangible competitive advantage.
Gain the quantum advantage
The quantum advantage is no longer just a theory: several experiments have demonstrated it in real situations. Now, it is possible to combine hybrid circuits (quantum + classical), high-fidelity emulators and cloud-accessible QPUs to test and refine actual use cases. Adopting these technologies now will help develop your organisation’s internal skills, make your quantum projects more secure, and position your organisation as a trailblazer.
Reduce your energy consumption
Optimised quantum circuits can significantly reduce the number of operations required to solve complex problems. Over time, this results in lower energy consumption compared to equivalent classical workloads, making quantum computing a more sustainable high-performance computing tool.
Benefit from a dynamic European quantum ecosystem
By accessing QPUs hosted in Europe, you benefit from a dynamic environment combining cutting-edge research, industrial innovation and strategic infrastructure. This makes rapid experimentation easier, strengthens local synergies and supports regulatory compliance and digital sovereignty goals.
What can I do with the OVHcloud quantum platform?
Validate your circuits on real QPUs
Adjust your circuitry on an emulator, then run the same code on an actual QPU to analyse noise, gate fidelity, and runtime. Compare the results to identify gaps, correct your algorithms and refine their efficiency before going into production.
One platform, several backends
Access a wide range of quantum technologies* from a single interface. Simply modify a parameter to compare different architectures (superconductors, ion traps, photons, neutral atoms) and stay up to date on advances in hardware.
Access charged per second
Launch your projects in minutes. No license costs or hidden fees – only the actual QPU runtime is charged. Free credits** are available for emulation, which makes experimentation easier, particularly for startups, researchers or innovative companies.
*Other QPU technologies to come: see the roadmap

QPU as a Service: your algorithms on the quantum cloud
Get started with OVHcloud by running your first quantum algorithms on CPU or GPU emulators. Modernise your existing workflows and enhance your skills without the need for quantum hardware.
Once your algorithms are ready, run them directly on QPUs through a single platform that is compatible with a range of hardware technologies* including neutral atoms, photons, and chat qubits. Usage is billed per second, and the QPUs are hosted in Europe. This unified architecture allows you to test multiple approaches, optimise your costs, and scale without changing tools or contracts.
Further down the line, this method also facilitates the integration of future developments: an increase in the number of qubits, improved error correction, and the emergence of new high-impact hardware approaches.

Insurance
Insurance companies can leverage quantum hybrid algorithms to speed up venture capital simulations and optimise reinsurance portfolios. Quantum-inspired QUBO formulations allow millions of correlation scenarios to be explored in minutes, when it used to take days. This makes it easier to tighten risk margins and the reduce the Solvency Capital Requirement, while respecting the regulatory constraints related to stress tests.
Consulting and IT services
Consulting and technology providers can create reusable frameworks that combine traditional solvers and cloud QPUs for applications such as logistics or resource planning. A unified API makes it easy to compare multiple quantum backends and create cost-performance dashboards for customers. This approach helps to illustrate tangible gains from the early stages of experimentation and define a clear path to production as the hardware develops.
Aerospace
Space agencies and satellite operators can use variational optimisation and quantum research to improve constellation planning. Running circuits on neutral atom QPUs significantly reduces the time needed to generate daily schedules and avoidance manoeuvres. This allows new compliance requests to be integrated in real time, while staying within fuel budget constraints.
