Atos Launches Highest-performing Quantum Simulator in the World

Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, introduced the world's first commercially available machine-system capable of simulating up to 40 quantum bits (Qubits).

The simulator, named ‘Atos Quantum Learning Macine’ (Atos QLM), is powered by an ultra-compact supercomputer and a universal programming language. Available in 5 power configurations (30 to 40 Qubits) to cover the needs of different organizations, Atos QLM enables researchers, students and engineers to develop and test today the quantum applications and algorithms of tomorrow.

The machine, designed by the ‘Atos Quantum’ laboratory - the first major quantum industry program in Europe, launched in November 2016 – has developed several top-class innovations which have resulted in numerous patent applications.

At the announcement of the Atos Quantum Learning Machine Thierry Breton, Chairman and CEO of Atos, said: "Today, by unveiling the highest-performing commercial quantum simulator in the world, Atos reaffirms both its ambition to be the industry leader in Europe and its role to accompany its clients from the outset in what is likely to be the next major technological evolution.

"Quantum physics will lead to profound changes notably in cybersecurity, one of the key strategic priorities of businesses. We must be planning for the impact of these today. The teams at our Atos Quantum laboratory have made remarkable progress, recognized and supported by an internationally renowned Scientific Council, to provide, today, scientists and engineers from around the world with a simulation environment which enables them to develop quantum algorithms to prepare for the major accelerations to come.”
