Eviden, a prominent company within the Atos Group specializing in advanced computing, has reached a milestone in the field of quantum computing with the launch of its groundbreaking software, Qaptiva HPC. This new offering is designed to optimize the performance of large-scale simulations within high-performance computing (HPC) environments, eliminating the need for additional hardware.
The Qaptiva HPC program now provides research centers and various organizations with the ability to integrate quantum emulations into their existing HPC infrastructures. This tool enables the management of complex simulations using multiple clusters, providing a robust environment for running simulations that require a high number of qubits and increased processing speed.
One of the early adopters of this technology has been the French Hybrid Quantum HPC initiative, which has achieved successful emulations of up to 43 qubits, thanks to the dedicated computing resources for this purpose. The first version of Eviden’s software includes the Distributed LinAlg1 emulator, which facilitates the execution of larger and faster simulations, depending on the memory available in the clusters.
Bob Sorensen, Chief Quantum Computing Analyst at Hyperion Research, has highlighted the importance of Qaptiva HPC in the current landscape of quantum emulation. According to Sorensen, “this software represents a significant advancement that allows researchers and developers to refine their efforts within a classical computing environment, reducing errors and maximizing the existing HPC hardware.”
Dr. Cédric Bourrasset, a key figure at Eviden, has emphasized the relevance of this launch following the introduction of the IQM Sparka quantum computer. According to Bourrasset, Qaptiva HPC not only meets the promises made during its presentation in April 2023, but also reaffirms Eviden’s innovative capabilities. Bourrasset pointed out that “users now have access to reliable quantum emulations, with proven performance and scalability.”
Qaptiva by Eviden is presented as a comprehensive quantum solution that not only provides a complete environment for application development, but also offers consulting services and the opportunity to collaborate with a wide ecosystem of partners. This tool includes software components that can be installed on HPC clusters to emulate quantum circuits, significantly expanding opportunities for users interested in the field of quantum computing.
