IBM And Pasqal Initiate Collaboration To Define Classical-Quantum Integration For Quantum-Centric Supercomputers
IBM News, Thursday, June 6th, 2024
IBM and Pasqal, as leaders in superconducting circuit and neutral atom-based quantum computers respectively, announced their intent to partner to develop a common approach to quantum-centric supercomputing and promoting application research in chemistry and materials science.
IBM and Pasqal will work with leading institutions in high-performance computing to establish the foundations for quantum-centric supercomputing - the integration of quantum computing with advanced classical computing to create the next generation of supercomputers.
IBM and Pasqal aim to work together to define the software integration architecture for a quantum-centric supercomputer that orchestrates computational workflows across multiple modalities of quantum computers and advanced classical compute clusters. The two companies share the vision for a common approach to integration based on open-source software and involvement of the technical community. IBM and Pasqal plan to co-sponsor a regional HPC technical forum in Germany, with plans to expand this effort in other geographies.
