IBM Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and the Quantum Science Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory today announced a new quantum error-correction platform that integrates quantum and high-performance computing.

Gaining high performance and correctness in quantum computing requires protecting quantum information from noise.

In many cases, researchers have paired quantum computers with classical computers to achieve superior performance for running industry-relevant problems.

The challenge today is scaling up these advances with classical computing.

“With Umbra, we will now test new ideas, evaluate approaches at scale, and build the foundation for more reliable quantum computers.”
