Atos and IQM study finds 76% of global HPC data centers to use quantum computing by 2023

Munich (Germany), Paris (France) 19 November 2021

Atos and IQM nowadays announce the conclusions from the 1st world IDC examine on the latest status and potential of quantum computing in large performance computing (HPC). Commissioned by IQM and Atos, the examine reveals that 76% of HPC data centers around the globe plan to use quantum computing by 2023, and that 71% plan to transfer to on-premises quantum computing by 2026. IQM is aspect of Atos Scaler, an accelerator program building partnerships with the start out-up ecosystem.

One of the key conclusions from the examine is that it is getting ever more tough for consumers to get the best performance out of large-performance computing while making sure each protection and resilience.

a hundred and ten key final decision-makers from large-performance computing (HPC) centers around the globe ended up surveyed ^[one]. For the 1st time, the outcomes provide concrete insights into a engineering place that will alter Europe and the environment drastically.

Investment in quantum computing on the increase

Quantum computing is the range one particular engineering in Europe and among the major a few technologies of the major 500 HPC data centers around the globe. 76 p.c of HPC centers are by now employing quantum computing or plan to use them in the up coming two a long time. The anticipated advantages of the introduction of quantum personal computers are obvious for HPC data centers: the study reveals that these are: tackling new problems this sort of as source chain logistics or difficulties similar local climate alter (forty five p.c) and resolving current problems a lot quicker (38 p.c) – while at the very same time cutting down computing expenses (forty two p.c).

Growing complexity as an option

Cloud is a key aspect of this HPC architecture, mixing normal elements with tailor made-produced infrastructure elements. Primarily based on the study responses, hybrid and cloud deployments are specifically critical in the EMEA region. 50 p.c point out that a hybrid HPC architecture is major precedence, (North The us forty six p.c APAC 38 p.c). But, there is a deficiency of understanding about how quantum computing will work together with a classical HPC infrastructure. Hence, outsourcing operations and routine maintenance with companions will continue with the enhance in quantum computing.

A market place in changeover

Producing and testing real-environment use conditions is critical to the potential achievements of quantum computing. The four most critical use conditions for quantum computing are at the moment linked to the assessment of huge quantities of data and resolving industry-specific use conditions. The major use conditions identified by the HPC centers interviewed are:

• Exploring databases (59 p.c)
• Investment danger assessment (forty five p.c)
• Molecular modelling (41 p.c)
• Asset Administration (32 p.c)

Dr. Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-Founder of IQM Quantum Pcs summarizes: “We work with some of the primary HPC centers in the environment, and we prepared this examine to provide the quantum industry with a thorough knowing of the point out of quantum at HPC centers globally. The sturdy investments for on-premise quantum personal computers, concentration on competencies hole and sustainability are pretty critical conclusions from this examine, and it will help IQM, Atos and our ecosystem companions in building new items and offerings”

Dr. Stefano Perini, IDC European Quantum Computing Follow Co-lead Spokesperson of IDC, adds: “Quantum computing has all the credentials to alter the way each scientific and company difficulties will be addressed. But, there is very little data on what are the latest and potential adoption traits of this slicing-edge engineering by companies around the environment. The examine sheds light-weight on how HPC centers are experimenting with quantum computing and how they’re preparing to do it in the potential. By filling this hole, we have been capable to outline the key actions to undertake in get for quantum computing to flourish and reach a sizeable influence more than the up coming a long time.”

Udo Littke, Head of Atos Central Europe, summarizes: “There has in no way been this sort of a extensive examine of the opportunities of the quantum technologies for the supercomputing market place. Hence, we conducted this assessment collectively with IDC and IQM to find out much more about the supercomputing market place in EMEA and the environment. The outcomes show that quantum computing is much more critical in Europe than in the relaxation of the environment. Europe has a special ecosystem for quantum computing, which is now demonstrating sturdy growth. Particularly now, it is critical to work with sturdy companions who have by now executed different jobs and use conditions and carry the suitable know-how.”

^[one] The examine “The State of Quantum Computing in Significant Functionality Computing (HPC)” reveals the strategic value of quantum computing. For the examine, a hundred and ten of the most critical HPC centers around the globe ended up surveyed in August 2021. 27 p.c of them arrive from EMEA, 32 p.c from North The us, 41 p.c from APAC.
