PR83788
PARIS, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Atos(https://atos.net/en/), a global leader in digital transformation, today
announced that it has sold its Atos Quantum Learning Machine (QLM), the world's
highest-performing commercially available quantum simulator(
through its APAC distributor Intelligent Wave Inc. (IWI), in Japan. This is the
first QLM that Atos has sold in Japan.

Quantum computing is a key priority for Japan. It launched a dedicated
ten-year, 30 billion yen (US$280 million) quantum research program in 2017(
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/japan-launches-its-first-quantum-computer),
followed by a 100 billion yen (US$900 million) investment into its Moonshot R&D
Program( https://www.jst.go.jp/moonshot/en/outline.html) - one focus of which
will be to create a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer to revolutionize
the economy, industry, and security sectors by 2050.
Combining a high-powered, ultra-compact machine with a universal programming
language, the Atos Quantum Learning Machine(
https://atos.net/en/2018/press-release_2018_07_03/atos-announces-new-quantum-simulator)
enables researchers and engineers to develop an experiment with quantum
software. It is the world's only quantum software development and simulation
appliance for the coming quantum computer era. It simulates the laws of
physics, which are at the very heart of quantum computing, to compute the exact
execution of a quantum program with double-digit precision.
"We're delighted to have sold our first QLM in Japan, thanks to our strong
working partnership with Intelligent Wave Inc.. We are proud to be part of this
growing momentum as the country plans to boost innovation through quantum.
Japan understands that quantum research requires a long-term vision and
nurtures innovation at every level to build its future success in the field,"
said Nourdine Bihmane, Head of Growing Markets and Head of B&PS Public &
Regional at Atos. "The Atos Quantum Learning Machine enables businesses to
develop and experiment with quantum processes and delivers superior simulation
capabilities to speed innovation."
The introduction of the Atos QLM enables companies to prepare algorithms
tailored to their own use cases and adapt them to current and future quantum
technologies. It also supports research and educational institutions in
training human resources to quantum programming and to promote advanced
research on these topics.
The Atos QLM simulates the behavior of a quantum computer, meaning that quantum
algorithms can be developed without the need for quantum hardware. As the Atos
QLM is hardware-agnostic, quantum algorithms developed on it can be executed on
any quantum computer from any manufacturer.
Atos QLM users continue to grow. Launched in 2017, the QLM is being used in
numerous countries worldwide including Austria(
Finland, France(
Germany(
India, Italy, the Netherlands, Senegal, UK(
and the United States(
empowering major research programs in various sectors. Atos' ambitious program
to anticipate the future of quantum computing - the 'Atos Quantum'(
https://atos.net/en/insights-and-innovation/quantum-computing/atos-quantum)
program - was launched in November 2016. As a result of this initiative, Atos
was the first organization to offer a quantum noisy simulation module(
within the Atos QLM.
