University of Innsbruck's spin-off Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) has announced a transformative leap in computational performance. The company unveiled the LYNX Series, a new generation of 19-inch rack-mounted quantum computers that has officially achieved a record-breaking Quantum Volume (QV) of 32,768.
operations and advanced trapped-ion control. The LYNX Series integrates our proprietary gate developments, significantly reducing the sensitivity to laser frequency noise and laser phase noise and allowing for deeper, more complex circuits than ever before possible in a standard data center environment. „With the LYNX Series, we aren't just increasing qubit counts; we are perfecting control and reducing sensitivity," says Dr. Thomas Monz, senior scientist at the Department of Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck and CEO of Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) . „Achieving this new Quantum Volume benchmark proves that our trapped-ion architecture is the most viable path for real-world industrial applications, from chemistry to complex logistics."
Why Quantum Volume Matters
While qubit count is a frequent headline, Quantum Volume is a more holistic metric that accounts for gate fidelity, connectivity, and hardware stability. By reaching this new QV milestone, the LYNX Series ensures: higher algorithm success rates so that users can run longer sequences of operations with minimal error, the series remains housed in a standard 19-inch rack, requiring no special cryogenic infrastructure beyond its internal cooling and the LYNX Series will soon be available via the AQT Cloud and their partners.
Strengthening the European Ecosystem
This launch reinforces AQT's commitment to European technological leadership. Developed and manufactured in Innsbruck, the LYNX Series provides European industries and research institutions with high-performance quantum systems that guarantee data sovereignty and security. The first units of the LYNX Series are scheduled for availability to select strategic partners in Q4 2026, with wider commercial availability following shortly after.
