This collaborative research will transform Ireland’s quantum research landscape. Rackspace Technology is a leading provider of hybrid, AI technology and multicloud solutions and MTU is at the forefront of national cybersecurity initiatives in the EU. Cyber Skills is proud of our team members, Dr. Hazel Murray and Dr. Anila Mjeda for leading this launch and contributing their skills and expertise to this groundbreaking initiative.

This research will aid in removing barriers to accessing cutting-edge quantum computing technology, enabling secure and scalable connectivity to genuine quantum computing power for researchers throughout Ireland. “[QCloud] enables exponentially greater flexibility in data representation, unlocking the potential to store and analyze information beyond the limitations of classical systems", said Dr. Hazel Murray, Ph.D., Cybersecurity Lecturer and QCloud Project Lead at MTU. “Through QCloud, MTU has established Ireland as a quantum research hub, democratizing access to cutting-edge quantum computing resources and fostering the next generation of quantum innovation.” said D K Sinha, Rackspace Technology President, Public Cloud.

QCloud’s platform provides centralized access to quantum computing resources for
researchers, facilitating groundbreaking work in various fields, including autonomous systems security.

This collaboration resulted in a comprehensive quantum research environment that provides quantum computing access to eight universities, 13 research institutes and supports 11 major quantum computing projects. Rackspace's collaboration was essential for establishing the QCloud infrastructure. Their expertise in AWS technologies was invaluable throughout this process", said Dr. Anila
Mjeda, Cybersecurity Lecturer at MTU.
