Quantum computing has moved past the “science curiosity” stage, but, ultimately, hasn’t reached the general-purpose, fault-tolerant phase.
This, researchers say, requires the use of quantum computers and classic high performance computing (HPC) in tandem. When combined, they can process emerging algorithms and workflows, and truly scale real-world applications.
To this end, IBM has released what it calls the industry’s first published quantum‑centric supercomputing (QCSC) reference architecture. The new blueprint outlines how quantum and classical systems can work in one computing environment to tackle scientific challenges that “no single computing approach can solve on its own,” the company contends.
