SnowDrop 8Q (quantum processor)

2025: Launch

Bauman Moscow State Technical University launched quantum processor SnowDrop 8Q. It can be accessed through the new cloud platform Bauman Octillion, the press service of the university said on December 8, 2025.

The SnowDrop 8Q superconducting quantum coprocessor consists of 8 qubits. The accuracy of single-bit operations is 99.927%, two-bit - 99.21%, reading - 97.75%. The compute space of SnowDrop 8Q is 256 states, 16 times that of SnowDrop 4Q. The potential of applications expands exponentially.

Due to the high accuracy of quantum operations, users can correctly compare the results obtained on two chips. Everyone can easily check all the parameters of quantum coprocessors in the cloud on their own. The introduction of a new 8 qubit coprocessor in the line of available chips gives users the opportunity to develop and test more complex quantum algorithms.

The open computing complex is based on a quantum element and component base designed and manufactured by a joint center of FSUE VNIIA and Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The SnowDrop 4Q superconductor quantum coprocessor has 4 qubits, the accuracy of one-bit operations is 99.892%, two-bit 99.06%, and the reading is 96.17%.

The qubit reading system has an eigennoise level close to the quantum limit. Quantum coprocessors and their emulators are available in real time, tasks are performed on a first-come, first-served basis. To work in Bauman Octillion, there is a graphical algorithm designer, as well as an API client.^[1]
