Quantum Brilliance partners with ORNL for hybrid quantum computing project

Diamond-based quantum technology company Quantum Brilliance has partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to integrate room-temperature quantum computers with classical supercomputers. They aim to build a platform that will support the on-premises integration of Quantum Brilliance’s diamond quantum accelerators into the HPC systems housed at ORNL. 
 

“Parallel quantum computing holds transformative potential for scientific discovery and industrial applications that require high-performance computing,” said Dr. Travis Humble, director, Quantum Science Center at ORNL. “Partnering with Quantum Brilliance allows us to explore effective integration with our existing HPC systems, paving the way for ground-breaking advancements that will inform the design of future HPC infrastructure.”

Mark Luo, CEO of Quantum Brilliance, added: “By integrating the world’s first cluster of room-temperature QPUs with ORNL's leading HPC infrastructure, we aim to demonstrate the benefits of parallel quantum computing. This is a critical milestone towards achieving massively parallelized quantum accelerators, which we believe will be the preferred architecture in HPC centers.”
