Vividen Launches Qaptiva, a Quantum Application Development Platform

Insider Summary

• Eviden launches Qaptiva for real world quantum computing applications.
• The company is partnering with quantum startups including ColibrITD, QuantFI, QubitSoft, Qubit Pharmaceuticals, QuRISK and Multiverse Computing to integrate them in Qaptiva.
• Captiva enable users to write code once and run it seamlessly on different quantum hardware, either on-premises or via the cloud.

PERS CONFERENCE – ProofThat Atos a leading business in digital, cloud, big data and security, launched Qaptiva, its new Quantum Computing offering to enable the development and deployment of real-world applications, using the best of quantum computing technology.

While some vertical markets are beginning to demonstrate a readiness to use quantum computing for the problems addressed today by supercomputers, the customer focus is shifting from learning to developing and consuming real-life applications of quantum computing.

With Qaptiva, Eviden is embracing this new era by enabling a rich ecosystem of software and hardware partners to deploy Qaptiva’s Application development platform, offering solutions to corporate customers to facilitate the development of real quantum applications, and run them as a service or in-place mode.

Leveraging Vividen’s strong experience in hybrid computing, Qaptiva will help companies, organizations and research centers around the world harness the power of quantum computing and take application development to the next level, to solve complex business and scientific challenges.

Unlock the value of quantum computing with an all-in-one offering

Developing real-life applications using paradigms based on quantum computing requires building a specific set of problem-solving-oriented software libraries for developers to deploy their own domain-specific objects without becoming a quantum physics specialist.

Because of this, Vividen is expanding its partner ecosystem to provide developers with a choice of a broad library of quantum software to increase value for its customers while offering a choice of differentiated hardware. To support the evolution of quantum software, the team has partnered with innovation-driven Quantum players such as ColibrITD, QuantFI, QubitSoft, Qubit Pharmaceuticals, QuRISK, and Multiverse Computing to integrate it in Qaptiva and address specific industry use cases related to automotive, defense, energy, finance. , life sciences and retail. For quantum computing hardware, after signing an agreement with forward-thinking partner IQM Quantum Computers in 2022, Eviden is now also collaborating with French technology leaders Quandela and Pasqal for joint commercial offerings.

Qaptiva offers all-in-one capabilities and a best-in-class development environment to write code once and run it seamlessly across different quantum hardware, either on-premises or via the cloud. Designed to include in one place all the quantum technologies provided by Qaptiva’s software partners, this platform provides developers, researchers and scientists with all the necessary tools and resources (libraries, connectors, emulators and compilers) to program, optimize, compile, emulating, and running code on a Quantum Processing Unit (QPU), gives real results very quickly without waiting for a Large Scale Quantum (LSQ).

In addition to the complete and simplified quantum application development environment, Qaptiva^TM also offers emulation capabilities to perform advanced emulations seamlessly with different noise models, up to 41 logical Qubits. The offering leverages the technology available on Qaptiva^TM 800, the new generation of the previously known “Atos Quantum Learning Machine”.

For app development and emulation, Qaptiva^TM supports all of the most widely used quantum programming paradigms (gate-based, annealing, and analog) and other technologies such as photonic quantum computing.

Captiva^TM covers a full quantum computing consulting practice, from training to application development to help enterprises, organizations and research centers understand, and identify real use cases, and develop future production-ready QC-based solutions.

“Based on our strong experience in quantum computing, we are excited to launch our new offering, Qaptiva^TM, to simplify the development of quantum applications with an all-in-one offering for enterprises while pursuing our research and development efforts to realize Hybrid Computing for research centers. By providing greater choice in deployment, either on-premises or in the cloud, and computing flexibility, Qaptiva^TM democratizing access to quantum computing.” says Dr Cédric Bourrasset, Global Head of HPC-AI and Quantum Computing, Eviden, Atos Group.

“Eviden is a global leader in Quantum Computing and with the launch of QAPTIVA, a full as-a-service offering focused on application development, Eviden is on the right track to innovation and rapid adoption of Quantum Computing for enterprises and businesses. This allows Vividen to acquire new capabilities, expand its solutions to address new markets and meet customer needs. With their proven expertise in High Performance Computing (HPC), Eviden can support hybridization deployments to combine quantum, traditional HPC, and AI at scale. Eviden has all the essential elements and the potential to contribute meaningfully to the future of Quantum Computing,” said Bob Sorensen, Chief Quantum Computing Analyst, Hyperion Research
