Qilimanjaro and Oxigen Forge Partnership to Integrate Quantum Computing into Data Centers
December 17, 2025
In a move signaling the accelerating convergence of frontier and classical computing, Barcelona-based Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech and Oxigen Data Center have announced a strategic collaboration. The partnership aims to define the practical requirements for integrating multimodal quantum computers, including both analog and digital systems, into commercial high-performance computing (HPC) data center infrastructure. This initiative addresses a critical industry need as quantum computing transitions from laboratory research to scalable, real-world deployment.
The collaboration will focus on establishing the foundational standards for the next generation of hybrid quantum-classical infrastructure. Qilimanjaro and Oxigen will engage in a joint study to understand the mutual requirements for this integration, examining the necessary standards, interfaces, regulatory considerations, and operational frameworks. A key objective is to create a pathway toward a centralized, fully hybrid system that would be accessible to users across various sectors, enabling seamless access to both quantum and classical processing power.
The partnership will notably highlight the role of Qilimanjaro's analog quantum computers, which are designed to require less complex error correction than their digital counterparts. This technology is particularly suited for solving continuous and complex problems, such as simulating molecules, materials, and physical systems, and offers new avenues for training AI models and tackling large-scale optimization challenges with potentially greater speed and energy efficiency.
By undertaking this work, the companies are positioning Barcelona and Europe as a potential reference hub for innovation in the emerging quantum cloud era. The collaboration represents a decisive step in determining how future quantum systems will be deployed, interconnected, and operated within existing commercial data center environments, laying the groundwork for scalable and practical quantum-HPC integration.
