IBM is committing up to $50 million worth of quantum compute access for the US Genesis Mission, and more An IBM project was also selected to accelerate AI-driven quantum application discovery. IBM envisions a future of compute that combines quantum, AI, and classical into a framework capable of solving challenges beyond any of those compute hardware paradigms alone. That’s why we’re excited to announce today that the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) Genesis Mission selected an IBM project to accelerate AI-driven scientific discovery in a highly selective process, and that IBM will contribute up to $50 million of quantum system access to further the objectives of the DoE’s plan to help realize that future. The department today announced the first projects selected under the Genesis Mission Request for Applications (RFA) as part of President Trump’s Genesis Mission. IBM is participating extensively in this mission as a member of the Genesis Mission Consortium, a select group of industry leaders committed to making the operation successful. “Achieving the ambitious vision of the Genesis Mission will require invention and innovation across every layer of computation — from hardware and architecture to algorithms,” said Jay Gambetta, Director of IBM Research and IBM Fellow. “As IBM continues to build the future of computing, we are prepared and honored to help the United States bring to life a new platform that weaves together quantum computers, AI, and high-performance computing to dramatically expand our country’s capacity for scientific discovery.” The Genesis Mission is a historic national initiative led by the DoE, which is building the world’s most powerful integrated science discovery platform. By uniting government, industry, academia, and philanthropy, the mission is accelerating breakthroughs in energy, scientific discovery, and national security through a new platform that combines AI, supercomputing, quantum computing, and advanced scientific instruments.
