QMware announced a new collaboration with NVIDIA and
Oracle through which it will use Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) powered by NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU clusters, as well
as the NVIDIA CUDA Quantum open-source hybrid quantum computing platform, to
test and develop a new state-of-the-art hybrid quantum computing service for
enterprise customers. An initial version of the service will be demonstrated at
Oracle CloudWorld London in March.
McKinsey's latest Quantum
Technology Monitor illustrates the rapid adoption and exploration of
quantum technology - also reflected by QMware's recent collaborations with
partners such as NVIDIA.
The demonstration of QMware's new service will enable customers to explore new
industrial use cases of hybrid quantum computing, which is a combination of
classical high-performance and quantum computing that delivers the highest
standard of processing power available today.
The accelerated computing capabilities
provided by NVIDIA A100 GPUs, coupled with OCI Compute bare-metal instances and
RDMA cluster networking, will provide QMware with a diverse array of options
for testing and developing commercially-valuable quantum computing applications
that can be used in fields such as AI, quantum machine learning, and quantum-enhanced optimization. CUDA
Quantum provides scientists with powerful simulation tools and capabilities to
program hybrid CPU, GPU, and QPU systems.
Martin Peck,
Vice President of Technology Software Engineering at
Oracle, said: "Hybrid quantum computing has the potential
to reshape how businesses operate, gain insights from data, and innovate new
products and services. QMware is a front-runner in this exciting field, and we
are pleased to bring the power and flexibility of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
to support them in building hybrid quantum services for enterprises."
QMware's CEO
and co-founder Markus Pflitsch said: "We are entering an era where quantum
computing is transitioning from experimental to practical. Our collaboration
with Oracle symbolizes a huge step in this journey. By combining QMware's
expertise in quantum technology with Oracle's robust cloud infrastructure, we
are scaling up quantum capabilities and simplifying its accessibility for
businesses across all sectors."
QMware's CTO
and co-founder George Gesek emphasised: "We build an ecosystem where
developers, researchers, and business leaders collaborate to explore quantum
computing's potential in solving real-world problems. The future of quantum
computing lies in its integration into the fabric of daily business operations,
and through this collaboration, we are helping to make this future a reality."
Tim Costa,
Director of Quantum Computing and HPC at NVIDIA, said: "High-performance quantum simulation
is crucial for researchers to tackle the toughest challenges in quantum
computing. Through collaborations with innovators such as Oracle and QMware,
NVIDIA helps enable the world's researchers to achieve breakthroughs toward
useful quantum-integrated computing."
