India, July 11 -- Quantum computing has long been viewed as a technology of the future, with commercial adoption held back by hardware limitations and uncertain enterprise use cases. HPE, however, believes the next breakthrough will come not from bigger quantum processors alone, but from integrating quantum computing with high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI) and networking.

Announced recently at HPE Discover 2026 in Las Vegas, the company has expanded its quantum ecosystem through collaborations with Intel, IQM, Qblox, Quantinuum, QuEra Computing, Quantum Machines, Rigetti and Riverlane.

Together, these partnerships aim to accelerate the development of practical hybrid quantum-classical computing platforms that...
