YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, NY – June 6th, 2024 – IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Pasqal, as leaders in superconducting circuit and impartial atom-based quantum computer systems respectively, in the present day introduced their intent to associate to develop a standard method to quantum-centric supercomputing and selling utility analysis in chemistry and supplies science. IBM and Pasqal will work with main establishments in high-performance computing to determine the foundations for quantum-centric supercomputing — the mixing of quantum computing with superior classical computing to create the following technology of supercomputers.
IBM and Pasqal goal to work collectively to outline the software program integration structure for a quantum-centric supercomputer that orchestrates computational workflows throughout a number of modalities of quantum computer systems and superior classical compute clusters. The 2 firms share the imaginative and prescient for a standard method to integration based mostly on open-source software program and involvement of the technical group. IBM and Pasqal plan to co-sponsor a regional HPC technical discussion board in Germany, with plans to increase this effort in different geographies.
A key side of this partnering exercise is the shared goal between IBM and Pasqal to foster utility-scale {industry} adoption in supplies science and chemistry; an space the place quantum-centric supercomputing exhibits rapid potential. IBM and Pasqal goal to considerably advance using quantum computing for functions in chemistry and materials sciences, by harnessing their respective full-stack quantum computing main roles and by working with the Supplies working group established final yr by IBM. The group will proceed to discover the very best strategies to construct workflows for utility-scale computation for chemistry leveraging a hybrid of quantum and classical computation.
“Quantum-centric supercomputing is the way forward for high-performance computing and is the way in which to attain near-term quantum benefit in chemistry, supplies science and different scientific functions. This collaboration with Pasqal will be sure that this future is open and agnostic to the {hardware} modality, creating extra worth for our purchasers and customers. I stay up for Pasqal becoming a member of us in bringing quantum-centric supercomputing to the world,” stated Jay Gambetta, IBM Fellow and Vice President, IBM Quantum.
“Right this moment marks a big milestone within the quantum computing {industry} as we embark on this collaboration with IBM. We stay up for combining efforts for a extremely bold aim: start to determine enterprise finest practices for quantum-centric supercomputing. Harnessing the strengths of each applied sciences, we stand able to match the accelerating tempo of our clients’ wants and meet their rising calls for,” stated Georges-Olivier Reymond, CEO, Pasqal.
