Atos, CSC and IQM partner to accelerate the commercialization of European quantum technologies
Paris, eighteen June 2020
Atos, a worldwide leader in digital transformation, CSC – IT Middle for Science and IQM, the European leader in superconducting quantum computer systems, announce the development of a partnership to build the 1st detailed 100% European quantum ecosystem which consists of a simulator, a universal programming surroundings and quantum components.
As aspect of this initiative, IQM will use the Atos Quantum Mastering Device (QLM) to provide a entire programming, compilation and execution surroundings for its quantum processor. IQM will also acquire edge of Atos QLM’s sophisticated components characterization resources, like gate tomography and numerical noise modeling. In addition to knowledge, CSC will contribute an Atos QLM to the initiative. Section one particular of the project, which consists of connecting the Atos QLM to IQM’s quantum accelerator, is previously underway at CSC’s facility in Espoo, Finland.
In just the very last ten years, quantum computing has advanced from experimental curiosity to tangible technological innovation. By enabling engineers and learners to produce and experiment with quantum computer software, Atos QLM contributed to the surge in early adoption and the identification of hundreds of early apps. Blended with IQM’s components systems and CSC’s deep knowledge of profitable quantum technological innovation initiatives, the partnership will deliver the current market a stage closer to establishing practical, practical and cost-successful remedies for specialized quantum apps in a wide variety of sectors. In the long term, quantum computing is expected to deliver an fantastic improve to research initiatives in just fields these kinds of as synthetic intelligence, molecular design of prescription drugs and environmentally friendly catalysts, cyber protection, optimization remedies for intelligent energy administration and money systems.
“We imagine that the fastest way to make quantum computing a business truth is as a result of collaborations across the ecosystem,” suggests Dr. Jan Goetz, IQM’s CEO. “That’s why we’re energized to lover with trailblazers like CSC and Atos. With IQM they get a dynamic younger components lover that’s relentlessly pushing the restrictions of quantum physics to produce Co-Design Quantum Pcs for particular apps.”
“As quantum systems experienced in the subsequent couple of a long time, the price and opportunities for customers will maximize. Conscious of what is at stake, governments across the globe are funding several research packages but the quantum revolution also necessitates for technological innovation leaders, tutorial and startups to cooperate in buy to convert guarantees into a truth. Jointly with CSC and IQM, we will pave the way for the broad adoption of quantum systems,” explains Cyril Allouche, VP, Head of the Quantum R&D Software at Atos.
“IQM, Atos and CSC share the common ambition to build increaseed price centered on the electricity of quantum computing. We are energized to be aspect of this new partnership and glimpse ahead to the new knowledge that will spring from this operate. As an end result, we desire to catalyze the study of quantum algorithms by Finnish scientists,” suggests Dr. Pekka Manninen, Software Director at CSC.
