Atos and OVHcloud to accelerate development of Quantum Computing
Atos and OVHcloud have announced a partnership in the field of Quantum Computing to make Atos ’ quantum emulator available as-a-Service through OVHcloud offers . This European premiere will make quantum emulations technologies more accessible , thereby expanding the quantum technologies ’ ecosystem . Research laboratories , universities , startups and large companies will ultimately have the opportunity to design quantum software and explore pioneering applications well ahead of the market .
By fostering the emergence of tomorrow ’ s champions and by encouraging their international reach , Atos and OVHcloud are committed to contributing to the development of a coherent ecosystem ready for the advent of Quantum Computing technologies . Thanks to the two European leaders , both public and private players of this burgeoning ecosystem will have access to a quantum development environment wherever they are located , so they can develop and experiment aws-a-Service software bricks ahead of the effective release of the first quantum computers .
By emulating a real quantum environment , this offering aims to reproduce the various approaches to quantum computation . Using the unique power of Atos ’ SMP BullSequana X800 server , the Atos QLM achieves unrivalled simulation capabilities , covering three different quantum programming modes ( the gate model , the annealing model and the analogue model ). When deployed within OVHcloud , users will be able to emulate circuits up to 38 qubits in double precision and solve quantum annealing problems of up to 5,000 + qubits .
Scalable and interoperable , Atos ’ QLM enables the development of hardwareindependent quantum software layers in programme , annealing and analogue modes , thanks to its unique and patented quantum compilation technology . This unique technology will also pave the way for the first applications that are optimised for first-generation processors known as NISQ or Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum .
In choosing Atos technology as an anchor for its future developments , OVHcloud will be in a position to offer quantum computation solutions through Jupyter Notebooks , offering developers easy access . Designed according to free and open standards , the Notebook will offer a variable level of performances depending on the infrastructure , which will benefit from the work already carried out by the Artificial Intelligence teams at OVHcloud .
Concerned with strengthening the European digital ecosystem by embracing the next technological leaps , Atos and OVHcloud commit themselves to encourage the adoption of this new paradigm to contribute to Europe ’ s technological sovereignty and to foster the emergence of new champions in this field .
“ By announcing this partnership , OVHcloud confirms its ambition to address and make accessible to the greatest number of people the most advanced technologies ,” said Thierry Souche , CTO , OVHcloud . “ The quantum revolution and the deployment of the first use cases cannot be achieved without the cloud , whose consumption mode and freedom of use are uniquely able to unite expert communities .” �
