Atos, a major player in France’s national strategy on quantum technologies

Paris, France – 21 January 2021

Atos welcomes the French government’s initiative and is proud to take part in the growth of the countrywide system on quantum technologies, declared right now by President Emmanuel Macron.

With distinctive expertise in Europe and progressive technologies these types of as the Atos Quantum Finding out Device (Atos QLM), the world’s most strong quantum simulator, Atos is by now operating closely with countrywide players these types of as GENCI (Grand Equipement National de Calcul) and the CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique), as effectively as the start off-up Pasqal. The countrywide quantum system now presents Atos the possibility to speed up its Atos Quantum method and improve its contribution to the French quantum ecosystem, with a watch to providing its buyers the initially added benefits of quantum computing in the NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) period as before long as probable.

“The plan declared right now for the growth of quantum technologies is very amazing and we are very honored to have been involved with this announcement. Quantum computing guarantees substantial development in strategic areas for our modern society, these types of as health, chemistry, finance and the combat in opposition to world-wide warming and decarbonization. Faced with these major socio-financial challenges, it is important to set up public-private partnerships and foster cooperation among governments, academic scientists, customers and private organizations. France’s countrywide system is equal to the revolution to appear and we are proud to be amongst the players who will take part in making it a reality,” said Elie Girard, Atos CEO.

Atos’ contribution to the countrywide quantum system will focus on four areas:

• The growth of NISQ simulators and accelerators integrated into hybrid superior-effectiveness computing platforms: capitalizing on the Atos QLM and its expertise in superior-effectiveness computing, Atos has set the goal of delivering a quantum accelerator related to a supercomputer as early as 2023. On the other hand, innovation in quantum computing is not only about hardware but also about software. This is the direction Atos is having with the Atos QLM quantum simulation and software growth system.
• Article-quantum cryptography: Atos is by now operating on integrating submit-quantum algorithms into its cybersecurity tools. Its work in this place will more speed up the developments necessary to put together the hardware implementations of upcoming submit-quantum benchmarks.
• Intercontinental cooperation: Atos has manufactured operating in cooperation with upcoming industrial customers a priority of its Atos Quantum method. The Group is concerned in quite a few academic assignments, notably with the Institut d’Optique and INRIA. In parallel, its expertise and the Atos QLM contribute to quite a few European packages, such as the NEASQC (Future Purposes of Quantum Computing) job. As part of the countrywide quantum system, Atos intends to leverage the working experience obtained via these numerous assignments to foster interactions among teachers, know-how suppliers and customers.
• Benchmarking: the immediate and continuous emergence of new technologies and techniques to quantum programming is important for the growth of the sector, but also a supply of complexity for companies wishing to make investments. In 2020, Atos designed Q-rating, the initially dependable, aim and truthful universal metric to simplify the partnership among know-how customers and suppliers.

Atos recognized a Scientific Council focused to Quantum. Users are:

• Alain Part, Professor at the Institut d’Optique Graduate College and Ecole Polytechnique, Université Paris-Saclay
• David DiVincenzo, Professor at the Alexander von Humboldt College and Director at the Institute for Theoretical Nanoelectronics at the Juelich Exploration Centre
• Artur Ekert, Professor of Quantum Physics at the Mathematical Institute at the College of Oxford and Founding Director of the Centre for Quantum Systems (CQT) at the National College of Singapore
• Daniel Esteve, Exploration Director, CEA Saclay, Head of Quantronics
• Serge Haroche, Professor Emeritus at the Collège de France, Nobel Prize in Physics.
