HPE and Consortium Launch Quantum Scaling Alliance to Integrate Quantum Computing and HPC
Summarize this article with:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) (NYSE: HPE), along with a consortium of seven other organizations, has announced the formation of the Quantum Scaling Alliance (QSA), a global initiative dedicated to making quantum computing scalable and practical for industrial adoption. The consortium is co-led by Dr. Masoud Mohseni from HPE Labs, who serves as quantum system architect, and John Martinis, a 2025 Nobel Laureate and co-founder and CTO at Qolab. The QSA aims to design and develop a cost-effective quantum supercomputer by leveraging the existing supercomputing and semiconductor ecosystem. The initiative is designed to overcome barriers that impede quantum scaling by providing a full-stack, horizontally integrated solution. The focus is on integrating quantum capabilities seamlessly with classical High-Performance Computing (HPC) and advanced networking. Founding members and their areas of expertise include: HPE: Full-stack quantum-HPC integration and software development. Qolab: Qubit and circuit design. Quantum Machines: Hybrid quantum-classical control for scalable quantum computing. Riverlane: Quantum error correction. Synopsys: Simulation and analysis technology, EDA tools, and semiconductor IP. Applied Materials, Inc.: Materials engineering and semiconductor fabrication. 1QBit: Fault-tolerant quantum error correction design and simulation, and automated resource estimations. University of Wisconsin: Algorithms and benchmarks. Dr. Mohseni noted that for quantum to succeed as a long-term computing paradigm, it must scale by integrating with classical supercomputing systems. The Alliance will focus on accelerating scientific discovery and enterprise innovation in areas such as drug discovery, materials research, optimization, and secure data processing.
