Atos and SENAI CIMATEC launch Center of Excellence in Quantum Computing in Brazil

Salvador (Brazil) and Paris (France), five May possibly 2021
Atos and SENAI CIMATEC, one particular of Brazil’s primary education and learning, research and innovation institutes, announce Brazil’s first Centre of Excellence in Quantum Computing committed to the business enterprise sector.
Located in Salvador, Bahia, the Latin The usa Quantum Computing Centre (LAQCC) aims to endorse the adoption of quantum technologies, present instruction to create a nearby quantum computing workforce and encourage scientific research in the most varied spots, such as chemistry and biology. The LAQCC will help business enterprise consumers to create technological roadmaps and carry out influence research, algorithm investigations and applied research initiatives.
“SENAI CIMATEC will be the first institution centered on Quantum Computing Technological innovation – QCT in Bahia and one particular of the couple of nationwide. Our partnership with Atos positions us as a new participant in the scientific and technological improvement of the disruptive department of Quantum Computing”, says the director of Technological innovation and Innovation at SENAI CIMATEC, Leone Peter Andrade.
The Centre of Excellence will host Brazil’s first Atos Quantum Learning Equipment (Atos QLM), the world’s most effective quantum simulator. Named CIMATEC KUATOMU, the Atos QLM will leverage common supercomputing components to simulate quantum units and algorithms of up to 35 qubits. The Centre will concentrate on the exploration of the different applications of quantum computing and its integration with Substantial Effectiveness Computing (HPC technologies), in line with Atos’ ambition to start a quantum accelerator by 2023.
With this infrastructure, SENAI CIMATEC will support consumers harness the electricity of supercomputing and quantum computing to produce breakthroughs in spots that deal with big volumes of data, such as medicine, meteorology, geology, physics and oil and gasoline.
“Quantum computing is attaining traction in Brazil, where by it is noticed as a way to encourage scientific research and entrepreneurship. We hope that the infrastructure and solutions delivered by our new Centre of Excellence will empower the Brazilian quantum ecosystem to mature and put together for the quantum period. It is also a testomony to Atos’ dedication to democratizing accessibility to technologies that assure to produce main advances in a vast wide variety of fields in the near future”, says Luis Casuscelli, Director of Significant Info and Safety at Atos South The usa.
Due to the fact its start in 2017, the Atos Quantum Learning Equipment (Atos QLM) has been made use of in quite a few international locations around the world including Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, the United kingdom and the United States, empowering main research plans in different sectors like field or strength. Atos also just lately introduced “Q-rating”, the first universal quantum metrics, relevant to all programmable quantum processors, steps a quantum system’s performance at handling actual-existence problems, instead than merely measuring its theoretical efficiency.
