Innovation Accelerator in Neutral Atom Quantum Optimisation

量子计算被世界主要经济体视为战略技术。它将提供一种全新的信息处理方法，具有重大的社会、经济和工业收益。加速经济和商业收益需要解决技术准备与商业利益之间的差距。为了降低商业价值主张的风险，需要工业上可访问的量子平台进行测试和演示。M Squared和斯特拉斯克莱德大学在中性原子量子计算领域建立了战略合作伙伴关系。此次合作的目标是基于共同开发的硬件和软件平台，实现工业相关量子计算的商业化。中性原子量子计算方法已经成为一种高度相关和通用的量子信息处理方法，能够进行模拟和数字计算。格拉斯哥拥有世界一流的大学，拥有成为量子计算技术全球领导者的关键因素；技能基础;以及全球供应链公司。M Squared已经成为中性原子和离子量子计算方法的主要供应商。M Squared为有前途的量子计算架构的光子学骨干技术路线图的协调和对齐，以及在斯特拉斯克莱德进行的突破性研究，为格拉斯哥在量子计算商业化中发挥作用提供了一个独特的机会。该项目将补充大规模投资，并专注于展示中性原子模拟计算，以加速商业利益和经济机会。

Quantum computing is considered a strategic technology by world leading economies. It will offer a completely new approach to information processing with significant societal, economic, and industrial gains projected. Accelerating economic and commercial gains requires addressing the gap between technology readiness to commercial interest. To de-risk commercial value propositions requires industrially accessible quantum platforms for test and demonstration.M Squared and the University of Strathclyde have embarked upon a strategic partnership in the area of neutral atom quantum computing. The collaboration targets the commercialisation of industrially relevant quantum computing based on a jointly developed hardware and software platform. The neutral atom approach to quantum computing has emerged as a highly relevant and versatile candidate for quantum information processing capable of analogue and digital computation.Glasgow has the key ingredients to be a global leader in quantum computing technology due to its world class universities; skill base; and global supply chain companies. M Squared have established themselves as a key supplier in neutral atom and ion-based approaches to quantum computing. The coordination and alignment of M Squared's technology roadmap for the photonics backbone of promising quantum computing architectures, with the ground-breaking research being undertaken at Strathclyde, provides a unique opportunity for Glasgow to take a take a role in the commercialisation of quantum computing. This project will complement large scale investments and focus on demonstrating neutral atom-based analogue computations for the purpose of accelerating commercial interest and economic opportunity.
