IBM And Pasqal Plan To Expand Quantum-Centric Supercomputing Initiative
IBM News, Thursday, November 21st, 2024
As part of intended quantum-centric supercomputing collaboration between Pasqal and IBM, unified programming model built on Qiskit will aim to integrate various quantum and classical hardware resources for advanced HPC workflows
IBM and Pasqal announced an update to their intended collaboration to build new, integrated frameworks for quantum-centric supercomputing with Qiskit, the world's most performant quantum software.
The two companies will soon begin developing a unified programming model to facilitate seamless interoperability across different types of quantum computing hardware. This integrated architecture will work across IBM's next-generation and utility-scale quantum computers, Pasqal's neutral atom-based quantum devices, and classical high-performance computing (HPC) resources such as CPUs and GPUs.
It will aim to accelerate the usability and performance of complex and hybrid HPC workflows, which will include quantum computers as a key pillar, by allowing users to select the best-fitting hardware for each task in a single, cohesive framework.
