AMD Backs Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing to Accelerate Commercial Quantum Adoption
HPCwire, Friday, June 19th, 2026
AMD champions hybrid quantum-classical architectures, partnering with IBM and others to merge quantum with HPC and AI.
AMD is backing hybrid quantum-classical computing to accelerate commercial quantum adoption, collaborating with quantum, financial services, and research leaders including JPMorganChase and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Its work with IBM focuses on quantum-centric supercomputing architectures that combine quantum processors with HPC and AI resources, exploring how AMD CPUs, GPUs, and adaptive computing can work alongside IBM quantum systems for hybrid workloads.
AMD's position is that quantum will not replace classical computing but accelerate it through a hybrid architecture. The foundation is the convergence of quantum computing, HPC, and AI.
