Bengaluru, March 12 -- IBM on Thursday said quantum computers are beginning to deliver real scientific results, unveiling the industry's first quantum-centric supercomputing reference architecture that integrates quantum processors with classical high-performance computing systems.
The new blueprint enables quantum processors (QPUs) to work alongside CPUs and GPUs across data centres, research facilities and cloud environments, allowing scientists to tackle complex scientific problems that were previously beyond the reach of conventional computing alone.
Announcing the development, Jay Gambetta, Director of IBM Research, said the future of computing lies in "quantum-centric supercomputing," where quantum systems collaborate with classical...
