QuEra partners with HPE to integrate quantum computer within Cray-powered HPC environments

QuEra has partnered with HPE to integrate its neutral-atom quantum computer within HPE Cray-powered high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

In a statement, the quantum firm said the collaboration will provide HPC centers, national laboratories, and enterprises with a path to bring “QuEra's frontier systems into new supercomputing infrastructure.”

QuEra and HPE will also pursue integrated testbeds, hybrid algorithm co-design, software interoperability, and system-level performance benchmarking, as part of the agreement.

As a result of the partnership, QuEra noted that customers will now have two ways to access its quantum computers: through HPE-backed on-premises deployments, and via the cloud, in collaboration with Amazon’s Braket quantum cloud platform.

The partnership with Amazon was announced in June 2026, and will provide access to Libra, QuEra’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of tackling scientifically relevant problems. Described as a “megaquop-scale” device, capable of executing one million quantum operations over hundreds of logical qubits, the 256-qubit system will be available to customers via Braket by 2028, with a gigaquop system to follow.

"Bringing neutral-atom, fault-tolerant systems into an HPC environment introduces a different engineering problem than delivering quantum computing over the cloud,” said Yuval Boger, chief commercial officer at QuEra Computing. “HPE's deep experience in supercomputing gives organizations the benefit of working with a partner who can solve that problem at the scale they need."
