Barcelona, Spain - March 19, 2026 - Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech today unveiled its SpeQtrum Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) cloud platform, giving researchers, developers, and institutions remote access to the world’s first multimodal quantum data center in Barcelona. The platform, designed to integrate digital quantum processors, analog quantum processors, and high-performance classical computing, is slated to enter beta in Q3 2026.
The cloud service allows users to run quantum algorithms without installing hardware on-site, addressing a key barrier for organizations seeking advanced quantum computing capabilities. By combining analog and digital quantum hardware with classical accelerators, SpeQtrum enables hybrid workflows, where researchers can select the compute mode best suited to each problem, ranging from simulation to optimization and AI workloads.
“This platform marks a significant milestone in making quantum computing accessible to a broader research community,” said Marta Estarellas, CEO of Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech. “SpeQtrum allows users to harness the best of digital, analog, and classical computing from a single integrated environment, unlocking hybrid workflows that were previously impractical.”
The Barcelona facility houses up to 10 quantum computers, featuring fluxonium-based analog qubits designed to reduce the need for heavy error correction while supporting scalable quantum workloads. The integration with high-performance classical compute allows users to run complex algorithms requiring both quantum and conventional computing power.
According to the company, SpeQtrum is particularly targeted at researchers exploring advanced AI, chemical simulations, and optimization problems, where combining multiple computing modalities can yield more efficient and practical results than any single system alone. Early access participants in the beta program will be able to test hybrid quantum workflows and contribute feedback to refine the platform ahead of a wider commercial launch.
Qilimanjaro, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Barcelona, has positioned itself at the forefront of full-stack quantum computing. Its multimodal architecture distinguishes it from competitors by offering a hybrid environment that bridges analog quantum systems with digital quantum gates and classical HPC accelerators, providing users unprecedented flexibility for research and prototyping.
By delivering a cloud-based gateway to its multimodal infrastructure, Qilimanjaro aims to democratize quantum computing, enabling collaboration across institutions and geographies without the need for on-site quantum hardware. The platform aligns with growing global demand for practical quantum computing solutions that can accelerate AI, scientific discovery, and complex computational research.
