Atos, CSC and IQM partner to accelerate the commercialization of European quantum technologies

Paris, eighteen June 2020

Atos, a world-wide chief in digital transformation, CSC – IT Middle for Science and IQM, the European chief in superconducting quantum pcs, announce the formation of a partnership to create the 1st complete 100% European quantum ecosystem which incorporates a simulator, a universal programming surroundings and quantum components.

As portion of this initiative, IQM will use the Atos Quantum Discovering Device (QLM) to give a finish programming, compilation and execution surroundings for its quantum processor. IQM will also choose edge of Atos QLM’s advanced components characterization equipment, which includes gate tomography and numerical noise modeling. In addition to skills, CSC will lead an Atos QLM to the initiative. Section 1 of the undertaking, which is made up of connecting the Atos QLM to IQM’s quantum accelerator, is now underway at CSC’s facility in Espoo, Finland.

Within just the past decade, quantum computing has advanced from experimental curiosity to tangible engineering. By enabling engineers and pupils to develop and experiment with quantum software program, Atos QLM contributed to the surge in early adoption and the identification of hundreds of early apps. Put together with IQM’s components units and CSC’s deep comprehension of profitable quantum engineering projects, the partnership will carry the market a action closer to acquiring viable, simple and price-powerful methods for specialized quantum apps in a wide range of sectors. In the future, quantum computing is predicted to give an extraordinary raise to analysis initiatives within fields such as synthetic intelligence, molecular style and design of prescribed drugs and eco-friendly catalysts, cyber security, optimization methods for good energy administration and money technologies.

“We think that the speediest way to make quantum computing a commercial reality is via collaborations across the ecosystem,” states Dr. Jan Goetz, IQM’s CEO. “That’s why we’re energized to associate with trailblazers like CSC and Atos. With IQM they get a dynamic youthful components associate that’s relentlessly pushing the limitations of quantum physics to produce Co-Design Quantum Computer systems for specific apps.”

“As quantum technologies mature in the following handful of a long time, the benefit and chances for consumers will raise. Aware of what is at stake, governments across the world are funding numerous analysis packages but the quantum revolution also necessitates for engineering leaders, tutorial and startups to cooperate in order to transform claims into a reality. Collectively with CSC and IQM, we will pave the way for the large adoption of quantum technologies,” clarifies Cyril Allouche, VP, Head of the Quantum R&D Plan at Atos.

“IQM, Atos and CSC share the typical ambition to create inserted benefit based on the electrical power of quantum computing. We are energized to be portion of this new partnership and look ahead to the new comprehension that will spring from this get the job done. As an result, we wish to catalyze the research of quantum algorithms by Finnish researchers,” states Dr. Pekka Manninen, Plan Director at CSC.
