What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

IBM, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and AMD unveiled a new co-design platform for quantum error correction, integrating quantum and high-performance computing. This platform addresses the challenge of scaling quantum advances using classical computing. The initial deployment co-locates IBM’s quantum computers, including the 120-qubit IBM Quantum Nighthawk, with Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Umbra HPC system. This system is powered by AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs.
