QEX — Quantum Excellence Centre

QEX helps researchers, developers, industry and other organisations explore and adopt quantum computing. We connect users with European quantum and HPC-QC expertise, training, tools, resources, and infrastructure – supporting them from their first exploration of quantum technologies through to the development and scaling of real-world applications.

What we offer the European quantum community

Expertise & collaboration

Connections with quantum and HPC-QC experts across the QEX consortium.

Training & skills

The chance to build quantum knowledge and practical capabilities through QEX training and learning activities.

Tools & applications

The opportunity to explore software, tools, applications and other resources developed and shared through QEX.

Quantum & HPC-QC access

An open door or warm introduction to European quantum computing and HPC-QC resources and infrastructure.

Scientific articles

QEX contributes to scientific knowledge by supporting and co-creating scientific articles with partners and researchers across the consortium and wider ecosystem. These publications help disseminate new insights, methods, and results related to quantum computing and HPC-QC integration to the broader scientific community. By making these outcomes visible and accessible, QEX supports knowledge exchange, collaboration, and further research across Europe.
