HPE accelerates quantum readiness ahead of Q-day Enterprise tech is already preparing for “Q-day” — when quantum computing will be able to break today’s public-key cryptography. Although that date is still years away, staying ahead of the curve is a necessity if companies want to secure their infrastructure and incorporate quantum into the existing artificial intelligence and high-performance computing stack. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. has become a key player in readying the industry for quantum, leading initiatives that accelerate quantum computing innovation while also navigating how quantum can work alongside HPE’s traditional supercomputers. “The company’s strategy is to advance supercomputer/quantum computer coexistence, understanding that quantum technology is unlikely to be used in many standalone instances in the foreseeable future,” said SiliconANGLE Media and theCUBE’s Paul Gillin. “In short, HPE believes that the growth of quantum technology will have a direct and positive impact on its supercomputer sales.” At the upcoming HPE World Quantum Day event on April 14, viewers can gain insight into HPE’s strategy for a quantum-based future from industry experts. The event will serve as a broader reflection of the emerging quantum market, which is moving from theoretical frameworks to ground-level startups. This feature is part of SiliconANGLE Media’s exploration of the convergence of quantum, AI and high-performance computing. Be sure to check out SiliconANGLE’s extensive coverage of HPE World Quantum Day, including interviews with HPE executives, quantum computing experts from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other leading industry leaders.

The three pillars of quantum technology — quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum compute — could generate up to $97 billion in revenue worldwide by 2035, according to McKinsey & Co.
