quantum-computingHPE Targets Scalable Quantum Access via Eight Industry Collaborations
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is building toward scalable quantum computing through new collaborations with eight industry leaders: Intel, IQM, Qblox, Quantinuum, QuEra Computing, Quantum Machines, Rigetti, and Riverlane. These expanded relationships aim to integrate quantum systems with HPE’s high performance computing infrastructure, specifically the HPE Cray supercomputing platform, to accelerate the development of practical hybrid applications. HPE intends to combine classical and quantum computing, addressing complex challenges in science and industry. “By bringing supercomputing and quantum technologies together in a hybrid platform, we will accelerate the transition from research to real-world application,” said Trish Damkroger, senior vice president and general manager, HPC & AI Infrastructure Solutions at HPE, outlining the goal of these strategic partnerships. HPE Cray Platform Integrates Diverse Quantum Modalities This effort goes beyond simply adding quantum processors as accelerators; it is a concerted effort to develop a full-stack platform encompassing neutral atom, ion trap, superconducting, and silicon spin qubits, alongside crucial quantum error correction and control systems. HPE’s approach acknowledges that no single qubit modality will dominate, and that exploring architectural trade-offs is essential for realizing practical quantum advantage. The collaborations are designed to support the development of integrated testbeds for hybrid algorithm co-design, software interoperability, and system-level performance benchmarking across both HPC and artificial intelligence environments. The foundation for this undertaking is the HPE Cray supercomputing platform, which the company asserts uniquely positions it to advance quantum computing by providing the necessary HPC and networking infrastructure. HPE already builds three of the world’s fastest exascale supercomputers, as verified by the November 2025 TOP500 list, demonstrating a proven capability in

quantum-computingHewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Signals Hybrid Quantum Push with Eight-Partner Infrastructure Initiative
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Signals Hybrid Quantum Push with Eight-Partner Infrastructure Initiative Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced an expansion of its quantum computing strategy, securing collaboration agreements with eight prominent players across the quantum hardware, control systems, and error correction landscape. The initiative aims to integrate the company’s market-leading HPE Cray high-performance computing (HPC) platform with a diverse array of quantum modalities, positioning HPE as a central systems integrator for hybrid classical-quantum computing. The eight partners named in the announcement span virtually major technological stacks in the industry including: Hardware Modalities: Intel (silicon spin qubits), IQM and Rigetti Computing (superconducting), Quantinuum (trapped ion), and QuEra Computing (neutral atom). Control & Error Correction: Qblox and Quantum Machines (quantum control infrastructure), and Riverlane (quantum error correction). This move by HPE represents a logical and necessary evolution for an HPC giant facing the gradual integration of quantum accelerators into the supercomputing fabric. Rather than placing a single bet on an internal hardware modality, HPE is leveraging its core strength, the massive, tightly coupled networking and classical infrastructure of its Cray supercomputers, to serve as the connective tissue for the broader quantum ecosystem. HPE’s strategy focuses heavily on co-design, software interoperability, and system-level performance benchmarking, which are critical hurdles for data center managers looking to deploy hybrid workflows. By including neutral atom, ion trap, superconducting, and silicon spin technologies, HPE is creating a vendor-agnostic testbed. This broad approach allows the company to evaluate architectural trade-offs without committing to a single modality before the industry reaches consensus on fault tolerance. Furthermore, the inclusion of Riverlane highlights that HPE is alr
