India, Nov. 9 -- Quantum computing may promise major advances in scientific research, but making it useful at scale requires more than powerful quantum processors. AMD, IBM and the Quantum Science Centre at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are addressing this challenge through a new codesign platform focused on connecting quantum systems with classical high-performance computing (HPC).

The collaboration brings together IBM's quantum computing technology, ORNL's research environment and AMD's CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and open software. The aim is to explore how both computing systems can work together to support future scientific workloads.

The new quantum error correction platform will provide a shared environment to test system architectu...
