Barcelona, Dec. 16, 2025 – Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech and Oxigen Data Center announce a new strategic collaboration to jointly explore how multimodal quantum computers can be integrated into commercial data centers, laying the foundations for the next generation of hybrid quantum infrastructure. This collaboration will highlight Qilimanjaro’s analog quantum computers, which require significantly less error correction compared to digital quantum computers.
Both companies are based in Barcelona and share a clear ambition: to contribute to building the future of the quantum cloud from Europe. As the computing landscape evolves toward a hybrid classical–quantum paradigm, defining how these technologies will coexist within industrial environments becomes essential.
Although quantum computers are still in the scaling phase, the time is now to establish how they will be deployed, interconnected, and operated in real-world infrastructures. This partnership marks a decisive first step in that work. Qilimanjaro and Oxigen Data Center will work together to understand and define the mutual requirements for integrating two highly advanced and interdependent systems.
"The future of computation will be hybrid. To make that future possible, we must start defining how quantum processors and classical machines in data centers infrastructure communicate, scale, and operate together,"
Oxigen Data Center CEO Benjamín Rovira Guasch highlighted the strategic importance of anticipating the next technological wave, saying
"Quantum computing will soon become part of the digital backbone. Understanding today how to integrate these machines into real infrastructures is a decisive advantage for tomorrow’s cloud ecosystem."
Both partners will engage in a collaborative learning process, studying the standards, interfaces, regulations, and operational frameworks that data centers need to accommodate quantum hardware, and the requirements quantum systems must meet to operate seamlessly within modern commercial data centers. The objective is to create a path toward a centralised, fully hybrid system accessible to users from all sectors.
The new system will include digital and analog quantum computers. Analog quantum computing is naturally suited for continuous and complex problems, such as the simulation of molecules, materials, and physical systems. It also offers powerful new ways to train AI models and solve large-scale optimization challenges, opening a path to faster and more energy-efficient computing.
Together, Qilimanjaro and Oxigen Data Center are positioning Barcelona and Europe as an reference innovation hub for the quantum cloud era, enabling future users to access quantum and classical processing seamlessly, through unified and scalable infrastructure.
About Qilimanjaro
Headquartered in Barcelona, Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech is a quantum computing company working to accelerate the arrival of useful quantum computers through the development of its analog chips based on fluxoniums. Founded in 2019, Qilimanjaro builds integrated, error-resilient quantum computers that enable faster and more scalable solutions than purely digital quantum approaches.
Its analog quantum systems offer immediate advantages in simulation, optimization, and artificial intelligence, areas where digital quantum processors (QPUs) still face limitations in scalability and error tolerance.
Qilimanjaro follows a dual strategy to broaden access to quantum computing. On one hand, through its SpeQtrum QaaS platform, it provides remote access to multimodal data centers that combine analog, digital, and classical computing.
On the other hand, it develops on-premise systems allowing modular and complete integration of analog and digital QPUs for supercomputing centers and research institutions.
With this strategy, the company aims to bring quantum computing closer to everyone, helping industry and research access sustainable computational resources. The goal is to respond to the needs of an increasingly digital society, while promoting innovation, understanding of nature, and the development of new technologies.
