Errors and noise are always\n a limiting factor, so this project needs to gain access to a machine with industry\n leading qubit and gate fidelity, which is essential to implementing the non-standard\n gates that arise from TQFTs and accurately probing various conjectures arising from\n geometry and topology that might depend sensitively on certain parameters.
Moreover,\n it is essential for this project to have access to hardware with fully connected qubits,\n which Quantinuum’s systems also offer, because such TQFT-based gates often need to\n be applied to arbitrary pairs of qubits. For example, for unitary representations\n of the braid group, qubits might encode strands, and it would be necessary to be able\n apply 2-qubit gates to any pair of qubits. Full connectivity significantly reduces\n transpilation overhead, which otherwise would drastically limit many TQC and TQFT-based\n algorithms.
This project also needs access to a system which supports mid-circuit\n measurement, fast qubit re-set, and conditional branching, which opens the door to\n advanced techniques such as error correction, adaptive circuits, and algorithms requiring\n classical feedback on the fly, which are essential to many algorithms arising in TQC\n and TQFT. Mid-circuit measurement also allows for measurement-based gates which could\n present a potential alternative avenue to implement com-plex operations. Finally,\n mid-circuit measurement will increase efficiency of implementations be-cause qubit\n can be reused if they are no longer needed. Currently, Quantinuum is the only hard-ware\n provider offering mid-circuit measurement on a high fidelity trapped-ion machine.
To\n develop proofs of concept that could test potential avenues for quantum advantage,\n this project needs access to a machine with as many qubits as possible satisfying\n the above constraints. While Quantinuum’s current H2 machine is already industry leading,\n access to their upcoming Heli-os QPU could allow for significantly larger calculations\n owing to its announced approximately 100 qubits.

Quantinuum’s H-Series processors are the top of the market for\n trapped-ion quantum computers and offer not only some of the best fidelity available\n for gate operations, but also all-to-all connectivity and mid-circuit measurements.\n
Access to Quantinuum through Microsoft Azure is not sufficient, as some\n of Quantinuum’s features are only available through direct access using their specialized\n software. Moreover, the potential for pulse-level access and direct connections with\n the experts at Quantinuum are essential to fully realize the research project’s goals.
The\n H2 processor has 56 fully-connected qubits and boasts a single-qubit gate fidelity\n of 99.997% and two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.87%, which will allow to significantly\n scale computations beyond what can be done classically on simulators. The H2 processor\n has a proven track record of successfully implementing proofs of concept including\n for example the creation of non-Abelian topo-logical orders and anyons, which are\n very closely related to the TQFT (topological quantum field theory).
The\n upcoming Helios processor will have approximately 100 qubits and thus set new standards\n for trapped-ion computers with all-to-all connectivity. We hope to be able to demonstrate\n significant advances in several field using this new machine.
Quantinuum’s\n processors also allow for mid-circuit measurement unlike the other players in the\n trapped-ion quantum computing space, which is an essential technical feature for several\n of the applications in the research project.
The other major players with\n commercially available trapped-ion quantum computers has been contacted in regards\n to a market dialogue. Some suppliers focuses on rack-mounted, modular machines topping\n out at 20 qubits, which is insufficient for this project. Others on the other hand,\n has a closer offering to Quantinuum. However, some suppliers current best offering\n has 36 qubits (to Quantinuum’s 54) and does not support mid-circuit measurement, which\n is essential for the project. We note that a supplier has announced a next-generation\n machine that promises to support mid-circuit measurement, but if this does not come\n to fruition having chosen this supplier would limit the project’s goals and therefore\n not suffice for the purpose of the research project. Moreover, the suppliers next\n generation machine promises 64 qubits, while as mentioned above, Quantinuum’s promises\n approximately 100.
Ultimately, Quantinuum is the only provider suitable for\n all the activities in the research project.\n \n 6.1 Resultat delkontrakt-ID: LOT-00006.1.2 Oplysninger om vinderneVinder:Officielt navn: Quantinuum\n \n Tilbud – Identifikator: Offer - Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers - cloud emulator and H-Series devices\n ID for delkontrakt eller gruppe af delkontrakter: LOT-0000\n Værdien af tilbuddet: 798.000 US-dollar\n Kontraktoplysninger:Identifikator for kontrakten: Contract\n Datoen for udvælgelsen af det vindende tilbud: 06-10-2025\n Organisation, der underskriver kontrakten: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n \n \n \n \n \n 8 Organisationer8.1 ORG-0001Officielt navn: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n Registreringsnummer: 30060946\n Afdeling: Danish e-infrastructure Consortium (DeiC)\n Postadresse: Anker Engelunds Vej 1 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Københavns omegn (DK012)\n \n \n \n \n Internetadresse: https://www.dtu.dk\n Køberprofil: https://eu.eu-supply.com/ctm/company/companyinformation/index/165863\n Denne organisations roller:\n Organisation, der leverer supplerende oplysninger om udbudsproceduren\n Organisation, der sikrer adgang til udbudsdokumenterne offline\n Organisation, der underskriver kontrakten\n Organisation, hvis budget anvendes til at betale for kontrakten\n Organisation, der udfører betalingen\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0002Officielt navn: Klagenævnet for Udbud\n Registreringsnummer: 37795526\n Postadresse: Nævnenes hus, Toldboden 2 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Østjylland (DK042)\n \n E-mail: klfu@naeveneshus.dk\n \n Internetadresse: http://www.klfu.dk\n Denne organisations roller:Organisation med ansvar for klager\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0003Officielt navn: Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen\n Registreringsnummer: 10294819\n Postadresse: Carl Jacobsens Vej 35 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Byen København (DK011)\n \n \n \n Internetadresse: http://www.kfst.dk\n Denne organisations roller:Organisation, der leverer yderligere oplysninger om klageprocedurerne\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0004Officielt navn: Quantinuum\n Organisationen er en fysisk person\n Postadresse: 303 S Technology Drive \n \n \n \n Denne organisations roller:\n Vinder af disse delkontrakter: LOT-0000\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0005Officielt navn: Mercell Holding ASA\n Registreringsnummer: 980921565\n Postadresse: Askekroken 11 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Oslo (NO081)\n \n \n E-mail: publication@mercell.com\n \n \n Internetadresse: http://mercell.com/\n Denne organisations roller:\n \n \n \n Oplysninger om bekendtgørelsenBekendtgørelsens ID: 77e7e0f2-7113-4db1-b843-c5607d93aaa0 - 01\n Formulartype: Forudgående underretning om direkte tildeling\n Bekendtgørelsestype: Bekendtgørelse med henblik på frivillig forudgående gennemsigtighed\n Afsendelsesdato for bekendtgørelsen: 12-11-2025 09:59 +00:00\n Dato for afsendelse af bekendtgørelsen (eSender): 12-11-2025 10:30 +00:00\n Bekendtgørelsens officielle sprog: engelsk \n Bekendtgørelsesnummer: 00752895-2025\n \n Offentliggørelsesdato: 13-11-2025\n \n \n","htmlEN":"\n\n \n 1 Buyer1.1 BuyerOfficial name: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n Legal type of the buyer: Body governed by public law\n Activity of the contracting authority: Education\n \n \n 2 Procedure2.1 ProcedureTitle: Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers - cloud emulator and H-Series devices\n Description: The research project, for which this quantum computing access is needed, aims to implement\n Top-ological Quantum Computing (TQC) by operating and testing topological surface\n codes and other algorithms related to topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) on\n Quantinuum H-Series processors and emulators.

Ultimately, Quantinuum is the only provider suitable for\n all the activities in the research project.\n \n 6.1 Result lot ldentifier: LOT-00006.1.2 Information about winnersWinner:Official name: Quantinuum\n \n Tender identifier: Offer - Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers - cloud emulator and H-Series devices\n Identifier of lot or group of lots: LOT-0000\n Value of the tender: 798.000 US dollar\n Contract information:Identifier of the contract: Contract\n Date on which the winner was chosen: 06-10-2025\n Organisation signing the contract: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n \n \n \n \n \n 8 Organisations8.1 ORG-0001Official name: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n Registration number: 30060946\n Department: Danish e-infrastructure Consortium (DeiC)\n Postal address: Anker Engelunds Vej 1 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Københavns omegn (DK012)\n \n Contact point: Anna Storch\n \n \n Internet address: https://www.dtu.dk\n Buyer profile: https://eu.eu-supply.com/ctm/company/companyinformation/index/165863\n Roles of this organisation:\n Organisation providing additional information about the procurement procedure\n Organisation providing offline access to the procurement documents\n Organisation signing the contract\n Organisation whose budget is used to pay for the contract\n Organisation executing the payment\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0002Official name: Klagenævnet for Udbud\n Registration number: 37795526\n Postal address: Nævnenes hus, Toldboden 2 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Østjylland (DK042)\n \n Email: klfu@naeveneshus.dk\n \n Internet address: http://www.klfu.dk\n Roles of this organisation:\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0003Official name: Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen\n Registration number: 10294819\n Postal address: Carl Jacobsens Vej 35 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Byen København (DK011)\n \n \n \n Internet address: http://www.kfst.dk\n Roles of this organisation:Organisation providing more information on the review procedures\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0004Official name: Quantinuum\n The organisation is a natural person\n Postal address: 303 S Technology Drive \n \n \n \n Roles of this organisation:\n Winner of these lots: LOT-0000\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0005Official name: Mercell Holding ASA\n Registration number: 980921565\n Postal address: Askekroken 11 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Oslo (NO081)\n \n \n Email: publication@mercell.com\n \n \n Internet address: http://mercell.com/\n Roles of this organisation:\n \n \n \n Notice informationNotice identifier/version: 77e7e0f2-7113-4db1-b843-c5607d93aaa0 - 01\n Form type: Direct award preannouncement\n Notice type: Voluntary ex-ante transparency notice\n Notice dispatch date: 12-11-2025 09:59 +00:00\n Notice dispatch date (eSender): 12-11-2025 10:30 +00:00\n Languages in which this notice is officially available: English \n Notice publication number: 00752895-2025\n OJ S issue number: 219/2025\n Publication date: 13-11-2025\n \n \n","opsummeringDA":{"card":{"titel":"Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers - cloud emulator and H-Series devices","ordregiver":"Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU","ordregiverId":"30060946","ordregiverIdDatavasket":"30060946","publiceringsdato":"2025-11-13+01:00","cpvKode":"30211100","cpvTitel":"Supercomputer","formulartype":"Forudgående underretning om direkte tildeling","formulartypeKode":"dir-awa-pre","tidsfrister":[],"alleOrdregivere":["Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU"],"beskrivelse":"The research project, for which this quantum computing access is needed, aims to implement Top-ological Quantum Computing (TQC) by operating and testing topological surface codes and other algorithms related to topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) on Quantinuum H-Series processors and emulators. \n\nErrors and noise are always a limiting factor, so this project needs to gain access to a machine with industry leading qubit and gate fidelity, which is essential to implementing the non-standard gates that arise from TQFTs and accurately probing various conjectures arising from geometry and topology that might depend sensitively on certain parameters.\n\nMoreover, it is essential for this project to have access to hardware with fully connected qubits, which Quantinuum’s systems also offer, because such TQFT-based gates often need to be applied to arbitrary pairs of qubits.
