Oak Ridge Starts Weaving Together a Quantum, Classical HPC, and AI System Stack
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is advancing the integration of quantum computing with classical supercomputers and AI systems. This initiative aims to address complex calculations that traditional high-performance computing (HPC) may struggle with. The collaboration involves major players like IBM and Nvidia, focusing on seamless interoperability and the development of new algorithms and software.
- ▪Oak Ridge is exploring the convergence of supercomputers, AI, and quantum computing as part of its research initiatives.
- ▪IBM recently demonstrated a significant quantum simulation using its 156-qubit processors alongside classical supercomputers.
- ▪The US Department of Energy is funding projects to enhance the integration of AI and quantum computing in scientific research.
