Ahead of the France Quantum conference on June
14, Atos and OVHcloud join forces to expand quantum emulation.
Regulatory News:
Atos and OVHcloud (Paris:OVH), the European leader in cloud
computing, announce 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 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 “as 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 analog 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 interoperableAtos’ QLM enables the development of
hardware-independent quantum software layers in program, annealing
and analog modes, thanks to its unique and patented quantum
compilation technology. This unique technology will also pave the
way for the first applications that are optimized 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 encouraging 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. 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” said Thierry Souche, CTO,
OVHcloud.
For Emmanuel Le Roux, SVP, Director of HPC, AI and Quantum,
Atos, "This partnership is a major milestone in preparing the
quantum revolution. Thanks to OVHcloud, we can offer an “as a
service” cloud version to democratize and share our quantum
emulation technologies more widely to prepare for the future. We
are convinced that the future of high-performance computing lies in
the hybridization of our technologies, between traditional
computing and the integration of co-processors, accelerators,
quantum and cloud technologies. Already a pioneer in quantum with
the launch of our QLM in 2017, which was the first emulator on the
market, this strategic partnership with OVHcloud is an additional
step forward in our quantum strategy."
