AMD and IBM Partner with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to Advance Quantum Error Correction
AMD and IBM, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), have announced a new co-design platform aimed at advancing quantum error correction. This initiative is a critical step towards achieving the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Quantum Genesis Mission goal of developing a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028. The platform integrates IBM Quantum Nighthawk r2 processors with ORNL’s Umbra HPC system, which is powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs. This co-located environment is also connected to ORNL’s broader supercomputing ecosystem, providing researchers with an integrated system for quantum error correction, decoding optimization, and software orchestration.
