IBM Announces Quantum Computing Partnership With Quebec

· Hartree Center: Apply AI, quantum, and HPC to accelerate discovery, innovation, solution creation, and skills development with industry with focus on accelerated modeling and simulation.AI, and HPC are already used individually successfully to attack some of society’s toughest problems, and researchers want to do the same with quantum computing.

It can take one or two decades of hard work and billions of dollars spent on research to turn this wheel for difficult problems, and there’s no guarantee that the hard work or the money spent will produce a useful result. These iterations simply take far too long and cost far too much, especially when it comes to solving problems involving life and death.

IBM seems impatiently determined to turn this wheel faster, no doubt because there are big societal benefits and plenty of profits for whoever learns to do it. IBM plans to find ways to accelerate the scientific method by seeding research centers like the yet-to-be-built Quebec-IBM Discovery Accelerator, to help researchers find and exploit synergy among these three radically different data-crunching tools: quantum computing, AI, and HPC.

The announced Discovery Accelerator partnership supports Quebec’s Innovation Zones initiative, which the Government of Quebec announced on February 3, on the same day that IBM made its partnership announcement. IBM already has a research facility in Bromont and the company plans to install one of its production Quantum System One quantum computers at this existing facility for use by the Government of Quebec and its partners. Installation will take place over the next year.

Not by coincidence, IBM announced that it had successfully completed initial development of the 127-qubit Eagle quantum computer at its Quantum Summit, held last November. When asked if the quantum computer to be installed at the IBM research facility in Bromont and used for the announced Discovery Accelerator would be of the 127-qubit type, Dr. Anthony J.
