“ Since IBM made the first quantum computer available on the cloud in 2016 , we have broken barriers across quantum hardware and software to build our largest and highest-performing fleet of globally accessible quantum systems ,” said Jay Gambetta , Vice President at IBM Quantum . “ Our quantum data center in Poughkeepsie is the epicenter of these efforts , with more organizations around the world using our systems here in the Hudson Valley to explore industry-relevant problems on real quantum hardware . As we continue to expand our quantum computers in Poughkeepsie and globally , we will work with our network of more than 250 organizations to accelerate the pace of discovery in quantum computing .”
Recently , IBM published evidence that Qiskit is the leading and most performant quantum software . These breakthroughs are now enabling the emergence of a global ecosystem of quantum software and services , including offerings in the Qiskit Functions Catalog from startups such as Algorithmiq , Q-CTRL , and Qedma to abstract away the complexity of managing the performance of quantum systems ; as well as tools from QunaSys and Q-CTRL to help users more easily explore chemistry and optimization problems . These tools are designed to make it easier to build and run utility-scale quantum algorithms that could open the doorway to useful quantum computing .
“ When you are focused on achieving algorithmic quantum advantage , working with highly reliable , stable and high-performing quantum hardware is essential . We chose to partner with IBM because their quantum computers offer the advanced engineering and performance we need to meet our goals with confidence ,” said Dorit Aharonov , Chief Scientific Officer , Qedma Quantum Computing .
