About FiQCI

The Finnish Quantum-Computing Infrastructure (FiQCI) was established in 2020, when it became part of the Finnish Research Infrastructure (FIRI) roadmap of significant national research infrastructures within the Finnish research infrastructure ecosystem, maintained by the Research Council of Finland.


The mission of FiQCI is to provide state-of-the-art quantum-computing services such as computing time and training to the Finnish RDI communities. This includes providing a hybrid high-performance computing and quantum computing (HPC+QC) platform for developing, testing, and exploiting quantum-accelerated computational workflows. Through FiQCI, Finnish researchers have access to one of the most powerful hybrid HPC+nQC resources in the world, available for quantum accelerated research and development. The infrastructure also aims to offer possibilities to carry out experiments in quantum physics.


FiQCI is jointly maintained, operated, and developed by VTT, Aalto University, and CSC - IT Center for Science.

Scientific and Technical Advisory Group

The Scientific and Technical Advisory Group (STAG) provides input for the operation of the infrastructure. The current (2023) members of the STAG are:

  • Dr. Valeria Bartsch, Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics, Germany
  • Dr. Alba Cervera Lierta, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain
  • Prof. Tommi Mikkonen, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
  • Prof. Martin Schulz, Technical University of Munich, Germany
  • Prof. Göran Wendin, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

Management

  • Dr. Mikael Johansson, CSC, FiQCI director
  • Prof. Mika Prunnila, VTT, FiQCI vice-director
  • Prof. Tapio Ala-Nissilä, Aalto University, FiQCI vice-director
