The new quantum computer, named Monarch, will be integrated into Calcul Québec’s traditional supercomputing infrastructure. “We are delighted to have the opportunity to integrate our quantum computer into Narval, Canada’s largest supercomputer for public research. This is the first time, to my knowledge, that a universal quantum computer has been directly integrated into a high-performance computing infrastructure. is an important technical step,” said Dr. Alireza Yazdithe founder and CEO of Anyon Systems.
Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that exploits the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for classical computers. Although still in its infancy, quantum computing is expected to be a disruptive technology with significant impact on national security as well as many industries. This has led many governments and organizations to begin investing significant resources to prepare for the arrival of large-scale quantum computers.
“Hosting and supporting a quantum computer will allow the research community to develop and test new quantum algorithms, while ensuring that all intellectual property developed remains the property of Canadian institutions. With the development of free software, this infrastructure will have a national reach and an international reach. explained Suzanne Talon, CEO of Calcul Québec, when the project was announced.
With today’s announcement, Anyon joins the very few companies in the world that have developed a universal quantum computer. The machine is expected to ship in the first half of 2023 and will initially feature Anyon’s state-of-the-art 12-qubit quantum processor, codenamed Yamaska.
This project is financially supported by the Ministry of Economy and Innovation of Quebec. Calcul Québec’s quantum computer will be installed at the École de technologie supérieure alongside the Narval and Beluga supercomputers.
