AMD supports quantum computing efforts at more than 15 of the world’s most advanced companies and research institutions

Quantum computing (QC) has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach complex problems, and AMD technology is paving the way – from AMD GPUs enabling quantum research on traditional high-performance computing (HPC) installations, to AMD FPGAs and SoCs driving the scientific and engineering breakthroughs required to facilitate quantum compute.

At the Cutting-Edge of Quantum-Centric Supercomputers

Europe’s AMD-powered LUMI HPC cluster has already been connected to a quantum computer to create a hybrid system where quantum processes are complemented by classical supercomputing power.

And as new generations of hybrid QC-HPC centers are built, AMD is partnering with companies like IBM to explore integration of AMD CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs with quantum computers to efficiently accelerate a new class of emerging algorithms, which are outside the current reach of either paradigm working independently.

Applications

AMD Instinct™ GPUs are Accelerating Quantum Research

AMD leadership in high-performance computing powers fundamental quantum research and scientific breakthroughs across the quantum sciences.

In leading HPC centers such as Oak Ridge National Labs, supercomputers like Frontier leverage AMD GPUs and quantum software frameworks to accelerate R&D – enabling breakthrough quantum simulations on classical HPC installations, testing and validating quantum algorithms before deployment on quantum hardware.

AMD Adaptive Technologies are Enabling Quantum Machines

Beyond GPUs, AMD adaptive technologies are also helping solve some of the toughest quantum challenges, to ensure these systems can perform computations reliably.

As key technology enablers in control and measurement units for a diverse range of qubit modalities, AMD Radio Frequency System on Chips (RFSoCs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are essential to the reliable operation of many Quantum Processing Units (QPUs).
