AMD and IBM announced a joint collaboration today around quantum-centric supercomputing. IBM’s quantum computing expertise is to be paired with AMD’s AI and HPC technology like their Instinct accelerators to help accelerate quantum-centric supercomputing.
The two companies are focusing on a hybrid approach to quantum computing with IBM’s quantum computing IP paired with AMD’s “CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.” The creations are said to be “scalable, open-source platforms.”
An initial demonstration of the joint work by AMD and IBM is said to already be coming later this year.
Technical details are light with the only public information so far this morning being their press release. More information on this quantum computing collaboration between AMD and IBM via today’s press release.
