Denmark plans revolutionary quantum computers: Magne should change medicine!

Innovation District Copenhagen, Dänemark - in Denmark it is currently round - an ambitious project called Qunorth has entered the stage, and quantum computing should put the bar a bit higher. With a rich investment of 80 million euros, Denmark and the Novo Nordisk Foundation aim to acquire and operate the most powerful quantum computer, called Magne worldwide. Techzine reports that this will be the first operational Level-2 quantity computer-a true milestone for that Region.

What makes this project so special? Magne, inspired by the Nordic mythology, is said to start with 50 logical qubits; This is considered a crucial step to achieve the quantum mechanical advantage. Jason Zander, EPP from Microsoft, made it clear that you can really benefit from quantum advantages from 50 logical quables. To set this in perspective, Microsoft and Atom Computing had previously achieved 24 logical quBits - the best result so far.

technological ambitions and challenges

What does that mean for the future? Qunorth's goal goes far beyond the initial capacity. Medical breakthroughs and revolutionary developments in material research are planned. Significant scientific problems are to be solved in 100 logical quables, and from 1,000 logical quBITs, even comprehensive solutions could be created. Construction work for the computer begins in autumn 2025, with commissioning until the end of 2026/27.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Danish Export and Investment Fund (EIFO) play a central role here. These institutions have decided to lay both the financial and the infrastructural basis in order to provide Denmark in the field of quantum research a competitive advantage. According to Novo Nordisk Foundation, the country could otherwise be seriously at modern quantum computers.

opportunities for the Nordic region

The Qunorth project is not only a technological challenge, but also an opportunity for the entire Nordic region. The project is expected to support researchers and industry by opening opportunities in the areas of materials science and chemistry. Magne could carry out calculations that would cost current systems millions of years - an idea that stimulates the imagination and opens the doors to new knowledge. In this context, one should not lose sight of the enormous market potential. McKinsey & Company emphasizes that the quantum technologies market could grow to up to $ 97 billion by 2035, and investments in start-ups are increasing annually.

The commercial and academic programs from Qunorth are to be presented at a Nordic quantum event in autumn 2025. In addition, Qunorth, such as techzine, is reported to strengthen the competition in the Nordic quantum ecosystem. With a base in Copenhagen and around ten specialized employees, Qunorth strives to build a leading position in the quantum area.
