Eviden supports the University of Reims
Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) in its move towards quantum
computing
Paris, France - July 18th, 2024
- Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in digital,
cloud, big data and security, today announced it is supporting the
University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) through training
initiatives to raise awareness of the challenges of quantum
computing. URCA will draw on Eviden's long-standing expertise in
the sector, through its Qaptiva offering.
While some sectors seem ready to turn to quantum
computing for problems now handled by supercomputers, customers'
objectives are changing. Demand is shifting from pure research to
the development and use of concrete quantum computing applications,
in anticipation of the arrival of the first quantum computers.
The University of Reims
Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) is acting on behalf of the
MesoNET project, which brings together 20 regional computing
centers across France, and is led by GENCI. The MesoNET ecosystem
will thus be able to take advantage of Eviden's experts' dual
knowledge of technology and industrial issues, to train researchers
and professionals alike.
Arnaud RENARD, Director of URCA's Centre
de Calcul Régional ROMEO, commented: "Within the
MesoNET project, the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne provides
researchers, students and industrialists with training programs
covering the general areas of HPC. Within the framework of
"Specialized Architectures", we support them in experimenting with
the very latest technological advances. With this project, Eviden
is providing a series of training courses ranging from the
fundamentals of quantum computing to quantum programming".
Olivier Hess, Global Quantum Computing
Technology Advisor & Head Quantum France, Eviden, Atos Group,
commented: "We are delighted to support URCA in
understanding and mastering the challenges and technologies
associated with quantum computing, the next digital revolution.
This project follows on from the recent collaboration between URCA
and Eviden, which extended the capabilities of the Romeo
supercomputer to meet the growing AI needs of research communities
in the Grand-Est region. We are proud of this renewed
confidence".
Qaptiva is a complete quantum computing
application development environment offered by Eviden, enriched by
consulting services and an ecosystem of software and hardware
partners. Drawing on Eviden's significant experience in hybrid
computing, Qaptiva™ enables companies, organizations and research
centers worldwide to harness the potential of quantum computing and
take application development to the next level to solve complex
business and scientific problems.
