Europe inaugurated its first Quantum Data Center, in collaboration with the American company IBM, in the German town of Ehmingen, near Stuttgart.

The opening ceremony was held on October 1st, with the participation of the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, with which the old continent takes an important step in the scientific area.

It was learned that the Quantum Data Center is made up of “two quantum systems, computers capable of performing operations in seconds that would take days on classical computing machines.”

According to the German chancellor, IBM would have selected the European country as the headquarters of the data center, taking into account the “good foundations that the country has in terms of research and development.”

It is appropriate to highlight Scholz’s words regarding the fact that Germany is the only country among the large economies of Europe that in recent years has allocated more than 3 % of its GDP to investment in research and development.

Since 2020, investment in quantum computing has reached 2 billion euros. The German chancellor detailed that some of the areas in which quantum computing will be applied are the computer, industrial and pharmaceutical sectors.

This data center will be accessible to “250 companies, research centers and government institutions and agencies,” in the search to position Germany as a “world leader in the use of quantum technologies.”

For his part, the director of IBM’s research area, Darío Gil, indicated that the opening of the first Quantum Data Center in Germany represents a further step in the “creation of a new industry based on new computing models.”

IBM published a database with 14 million samples as part of its Project CodeNet initiative, with which the company seeks to help train Artificial Intelligence (AI) mechanisms capable of programming code or translating it autonomously.

The use of a current technology such as AI in code programming seeks to modernize the sector and make it possible for machines to help in tasks currently performed by humans, such as cleaning, maintaining and updating code, as reported by the company in the framework of its event annual IBM Think 2021.

“The language of the machines is the code and, in the same way that we have advanced a lot in the processing of natural language as in the translators, we can teach the machines to program“, said the senior vice president and director of IBM Research, Darío Gil.

Now, the company publicly released Project CodeNet databases on the open GitHub platform, with 14 million data samples, 500 million lines of code in more than 55 different programming languages, from some modern ones like C++, Java, Python and Go to old ones like COBOL, Pascal and FORTRAN.

The use of this database aims to train new AI tools that are capable of programming code or translating it, overcoming current obstacles to this, such as contextual information, which makes the larger a program, the more difficult. it turns out to be translated for a machine.
