Eviden drives quantum adoption with installation of IQM Spark
quantum computer
This IQM quantum computer will enable
Eviden’s clients to engage in quantum programming and
applications.
Paris, France – October 9, 2024
– Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced
computing today announces having signed a partnership with IQM
Quantum Computers – a global leader in designing, building, and
selling superconducting quantum computers – to make quantum
computing a reality across businesses and organizations.
While performance is key, the stability and
fidelity of the qubits have become a crucial element in the near
quantum revolution to run accurate operations. To tackle this
challenge, IQM Spark™ is a superconducting quantum computer which
offers high single-qubit and two-qubit gates fidelity, ensuring
reliable and accurate quantum applications.
Eviden has therefore installed IQM
SparkTM, a quantum computer tailored for educational
purposes and experimental research, for its customers to learn,
experiment, and start developing real-life quantum
proofs-of-concept. With this significant milestone in the journey
toward quantum adoption, Eviden reaffirms its dedication and
commitment to making quantum computing technology more accessible
to everyone.
With complete physical access to this machine
installed in Eviden’s flagship factory (Angers, France), the
Group’s users and clients will benefit from flexible and immediate
experimentation. Remote-as-a-service access through an Eviden
private cloud will also be deployed to make this technology broadly
accessible.
Access to a IQM SparkTM will allow
research labs, universities, and industry players to better learn
and understand quantum computing technology and discover
programming approaches, noise models, usage constraints, and
more.
Eviden will also leverage the machine to provide
access to the Eviden R&D and internal consulting community, to
enhance quantum applications and integration with HPC clusters, and
to improve Eviden’s compilers and create new noise-aware
compilers.
Access to the machine will be part of Eviden’s
Qaptiva offering, a complete quantum computing application
development environment, enriched by consulting services and an
ecosystem of software and hardware partners.
Dr. Cédric Bourrasset,
Global Head of HPC-AI and Quantum Computing, Eviden, Atos
Group highlighted “Hosting our very first quantum
computer is a major step in our quantum computing journey. With
this milestone, Eviden now combines quantum emulation and quantum
computing processing to offer a tangible solution to enter the
world of quantum physics. This comes with great benefits for
programming without the high costs and complexities usually
inherent to such technologies, therefore making quantum computing
more affordable and accessible.”
Dr. Mikko Välimäki, Co-CEO at IQM
Quantum Computers, said: “The installation of IQM
Spark, the first fully functional quantum computer at Eviden, adds
to the growing network of our systems deployed globally and
demonstrates our commitment to accelerate commercial quantum
adoption for businesses. We are confident that our system will
provide significant value to Eviden’s clients while we look forward
to collaborating with other enterprises in their quantum
journey.”
“Through our partnership with Eviden, we are
not only providing cutting-edge quantum computing technology but
also enabling educational and experimental opportunities for future
quantum innovators in France as they develop applications and
proofs-of-concept, accelerating the journey toward widespread
quantum adoption,” added the Vice President Global
Business and Marketing at IQM Quantum Computers, Sylwia Barthel de
Weydenthal.
