EY Announces On-Site Quantum Computing

Insider BriefPRESS RELEASE — The EY organization (EY) announces the expansion of its global quantum computing capabilities with the addition of an on-site quantum computer led by EY Canada and part of a global investment of more than US$3b in AI and other next frontier technologies. The new capabilities will support the processing of highly sensitive workloads in areas such as optimization, fraud detection, data protection and large-scale risk management.Underpinning this investment is dedicated access and greater control over the development of new applications, including where data resides and how it is managed. Quantum readiness is pivotal in this next frontier and investing in the technical foundation is a critical step for organizations. Combining AI with exponentially greater computing power is now essential to unlock new value and develop innovative approaches to forecasting, optimization and decision intelligence.The new capabilities also improve the testing, refinement and validation of quantum-enabled solutions, helping clients move beyond experimentation to gain first-hand experience with quantum solutions.Raj Sharma, EY Global Managing Partner – Growth & Innovation, says: “AI may be the defining technology platform of this decade, and quantum will ultimately expand its horizons, creating entirely new opportunities for business and society. EY has already taken great strides in applying the power of quantum to cybersecurity and specific industry use cases. As the technology reaches its full potential over the next five years, it’s critical for global business leaders seeking competitive advantage to hone their data readiness and build strong foundations of data, trust, and governance in preparedness for the quantum age.”Biren Agnihotri, EY Canada Chief Technology Officer, says:“This announcement shifts the conversation on quantum computing from concept to practical use for clients across markets. Quantum computing has the ability to solve complex challenges that classical computing alone cannot address. By combining local and global talent, ecosystem collaboration and leading-edge in-house quantum infrastructure, EY teams are improving how organizations translate quantum innovation into real-world solutions.”As part of this, EY is bolstering its Client Zero approach, developing and testing quantum-enabled solutions within its own environment to help move visionary ideas toward practical use for clients. Owning the system in-house can help organizations address stringent regulatory, security, privacy and industry requirements that cloud-based alternatives cannot always meet.The investment builds on the EY organization’s recent quantum patent and strengthens the ability of EY teams to help clients identify where quantum can deliver measurable results. It further demonstrates how innovation led by EY Canada and other key markets can be scaled through the EY global network to support organizations around the world.Joe Depa, EY Global Chief Innovation Officer, says:“The real power of quantum will be in pairing breakthrough capability with responsible use. That means protecting sensitive data while using quantum to solve problems that matter most to business and society, from cybersecurity to precision medicine. This is where innovation and trust must move together. AI changes how work gets done, while quantum may change what’s possible.”The announcement comes as EY launches ey.ai The Reimagination Engine, an AI-led technology system designed to help organizations move beyond pilots to realize enterprise-wide value – centered on the premise that “AI is only as valuable as the hands that shape it.”For more information on ey.ai The Reimagination Engine, access the video here.TopicsShare Get the latest research, company news, and market intelligence every week.
