Atos, a major player in France’s national strategy on quantum technologies
Paris, France – 21 January 2021
Atos welcomes the French government’s initiative and is very pleased to participate in the development of the countrywide technique on quantum technologies, announced right now by President Emmanuel Macron.
With exclusive skills in Europe and progressive technologies this kind of as the Atos Quantum Mastering Machine (Atos QLM), the world’s most effective quantum simulator, Atos is currently working intently with countrywide gamers this kind of as GENCI (Grand Equipement Nationwide de Calcul) and the CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique), as nicely as the start out-up Pasqal. The countrywide quantum technique now gives Atos the chance to accelerate its Atos Quantum system and reinforce its contribution to the French quantum ecosystem, with a check out to presenting its shoppers the 1st benefits of quantum computing in the NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era as soon as possible.
“The strategy announced right now for the development of quantum technologies is pretty exceptional and we are extremely honored to have been linked with this announcement. Quantum computing claims significant development in strategic regions for our society, this kind of as overall health, chemistry, finance and the fight against world wide warming and decarbonization. Confronted with these significant socio-economic problems, it is crucial to established up community-personal partnerships and foster cooperation involving governments, educational scientists, users and personal firms. France’s countrywide technique is equivalent to the revolution to come and we are very pleased to be between the gamers who will participate in earning it a reality,” reported Elie Girard, Atos CEO.
Atos’ contribution to the countrywide quantum technique will emphasis on four regions:
- The development of NISQ simulators and accelerators integrated into hybrid higher-overall performance computing platforms: capitalizing on the Atos QLM and its skills in higher-overall performance computing, Atos has established the target of furnishing a quantum accelerator connected to a supercomputer as early as 2023. On the other hand, innovation in quantum computing is not only about components but also about software program. This is the route Atos is getting with the Atos QLM quantum simulation and software program development platform.
- Publish-quantum cryptography: Atos is currently working on integrating publish-quantum algorithms into its cybersecurity tools. Its operate in this region will even further accelerate the developments needed to put together the components implementations of upcoming publish-quantum benchmarks.
- Global cooperation: Atos has created working in cooperation with upcoming industrial users a precedence of its Atos Quantum system. The Team is included in many educational initiatives, notably with the Institut d’Optique and INRIA. In parallel, its skills and the Atos QLM add to many European plans, including the NEASQC (Next Purposes of Quantum Computing) challenge. As part of the countrywide quantum technique, Atos intends to leverage the working experience received by way of these many initiatives to foster interactions involving lecturers, technologies providers and users.
- Benchmarking: the speedy and continual emergence of new technologies and methods to quantum programming is crucial for the development of the sector, but also a resource of complexity for businesses wishing to devote. In 2020, Atos made Q-score, the 1st trustworthy, objective and good universal metric to simplify the romantic relationship involving technologies users and providers.
Atos recognized a Scientific Council devoted to Quantum. Customers are:
- Alain Component, Professor at the Institut d’Optique Graduate School and Ecole Polytechnique, Université Paris-Saclay
- David DiVincenzo, Professor at the Alexander von Humboldt University and Director at the Institute for Theoretical Nanoelectronics at the Juelich Exploration Centre
- Artur Ekert, Professor of Quantum Physics at the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford and Founding Director of the Centre for Quantum Systems (CQT) at the Nationwide University of Singapore
- Daniel Esteve, Exploration Director, CEA Saclay, Head of Quantronics
- Serge Haroche, Professor Emeritus at the Collège de France, Nobel Prize in Physics.
