QMware and QuiX Quantum to Establish Fully Integrated Hybrid Quantum Computing Data Center

Insider Summary

• QMware and QuiX Quantum will collaborate to develop a fully integrated hybrid quantum classical platform.
• company will co-locate on-site hardware and integrate different computing paradigms.
• according to the team, the new approach provides significant performance improvements and cost savings over existing commercial hybrid quantum services.

PRESS RELEASE — QMware and QuiX Quantum will collaborate to develop the first fully integrated hybrid quantum classic platform in Enschede, The Netherlands, where QuiX Quantum is headquartered. The hybrid architecture integrates high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure with native on-premises quantum computing technologies for the first time globally. The new data center is expected to be fully operational for commercial applications in August 2023.

QMware and QuiX Quantum will put hardware in place and integrate different computing paradigms (HPC and native quantum hardware) with shared memory access on high-performance computers under a unified Linux operating system. This new approach provides significant performance improvements and cost savings over existing commercial hybrid quantum services. Instead, vendors today require web integration on separate compute stacks to manage processing between quantum and classical hardware.

The best support for large compute models and ML

The hybrid architecture of QMware’s proprietary hardware and software platforms allows classical and native quantum hardware to be built and used side by side. For end customers, this unprecedented deep integration enables simultaneous access from both compute backends with exceptional performance and lowest latency. Quantum technology by QuiX Quantum is designed to support large computational models such as optimization and machine learning applications with millions of variables.

Quantum Quantum Computers based on photonics are perfect for data center integration as they operate at room temperature and provide scalable quantum technology. QMware will use low-latency broadband fiber-optic connections to directly interconnect high-performance computing infrastructure with native and simulated quantum hardware.

“We believe that Photonics Quantum Processing Units by QuiX Quantum, integrated into QMware Hybrid High Performance Quantum Computers, are one of the most promising technologies for delivering the benefits of commercially sustainable quantum computing,” said George Gesek, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of QMware. “By integrating HPC infrastructure and QuiX Quantum native quantum hardware at the deepest layer, we aim to provide commercial quantum superiority at scale. Our clients will benefit from application-specific performance improvements, resulting in up to 10 times faster data processing speeds!”

“We are very excited to be working with QMware on this groundbreaking project,” said Dr. -Ing. Stefan Hengesbach, CEO of QuiX Quantum. “At QuiX Quantum, we are fully committed to making native quantum hardware accessible for early industrial applications. QuiX Quantum technology makes

integration of quantum hardware into existing data centers is becoming a reality today. Optimizing energy grids, supply chains or traffic routing are just a few examples being investigated in collaboration with QMware.”

Constantijn van Oranje, Special Envoy at Techleap: “I’m excited to see European technology companies like QMware and QuiX Quantum pave the way in this key innovation sector. The announcement of the first fully integrated Hybrid Quantum Computing Data Center in Enschede, The Netherlands, is a testament to the talent, expertise and dedication of the European quantum community.”

Ton van ‘t Noordende, Managing Director of QDNL Participation: “The new data center at Enschede highlights the expertise and effort invested in the field of quantum technology in Europe. The shared memory structure between classical and quantum processing units represents an outstanding technical achievement that will enable the further scaling of quantum computing for complex applications. QMware and QuiX Quantum are taking a pioneering role in enabling scalable quantum applications for industry and science, which is very exciting to see.”

• Markus Pflitsch, CEO and co-founder of QMware: “Our collaboration marks an important milestone for the quantum computing industry. The hybrid quantum computing data center located in Enschede represents a major step in the evolution of computing, as it seamlessly integrates classical and quantum hardware in the deepest possible layers. This development is strategically significant, as it unlocks the full potential of future applications of quantum computing.”
