Atos coordinates NEASQC, an ambitious European project to lead the future quantum computing revolution

Paris, five October 2020

Atos, a world-wide chief in electronic transformation, announces its participation in the European challenge NEASQC[one], whose ambition is to prepare European businesses for the age of quantum computing by exploring a large choice of industrial and economical use conditions, and linked algorithms, appropriate with NISQ[two] pcs, the initial quantum techniques to be available in the near future. Atos will coordinate and do the job hand‑in‑hand with the eleven other companions, foremost industrial finish-consumers and academic specialists from 8 European nations, to initiate an energetic European community all around NISQ Quantum Computing.

Even though quantum pcs may possibly not nonetheless be all set, corporations looking to faucet into the power of quantum computing can by now experiment by utilizing focused programming and simulation platforms, such as Atos’ Quantum Understanding Equipment (Atos QLM). Nevertheless, the lack of application libraries helps make its extremely hard for non-pro consumers to visualize and anticipate the price that such an influx of computing power will convey.

NEASQC addresses this hole by investigating nine industrial use conditions that are most likely to reward drastically from NISQ quantum computing. These use conditions incorporate realistic challenges that will immediately reward European businesses and citizens: drug discovery, breast cancer detection, CO2 capture, smart electrical power management and normal language processing for instance. The challenge will then produce open up resource libraries needed for these use conditions, to encourage industrial finish-consumers to get started the move to quantum computing.

Atos will coordinate and deal with the roll-out of the NEASQC challenge, foremost the person team that will be designed up of the companions involved in quantum software program developments, as effectively as external finish-consumers of the NEASQC programming environment. Atos is also dependable for the ‘Programming Framework & Hardware’ elements, inside of the ‘technology enablement’ section of the challenge.

In addition, Atos will present the quantum programming environment, Atos myQLM, whose seller lock-in no cost technique assures a complete compatibility with the quantum processors produced inside of the European Flagship on Quantum Systems. Atos will produce and combine open up resource NISQ application libraries in conjunction with the various use conditions protected by the NEASQC challenge.

“As an worldwide corporation with European roots, we are proud to help the NEASQC challenge with our highly developed technologies and expertise in quantum computing. Quantum computing has the likely to transform the recreation in such fields as logistics, producing, finance or electrical power but it needs to gain the have faith in of consumers to understand that likely. The following several many years will be extremely remarkable but also critical for these looking to realize achievement in this area and we hope that our contribution will assistance place European corporations at the forefront of quantum computing experimentation,” discussed Cyril Allouche, Fellow VP, Head of the Atos Quantum R&D Software at Atos, and coordinator of the NEASQC challenge.

The 4-12 months challenge has a finances of 4.sixty seven million Euros, funded by less than the European Horizon2020 plan.
