Cineca
Cineca is a non-profit Consortium, made up of 110 members: 70 Italian Universities and 40 Institutions. Cineca High Performance Computing department is the largest computing centre in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. Our mission is to accelerate the scientific discovery by providing high performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing (QC) resources and expertise at large, aiming to develop and promote technical and scientific services related to HPC and QC for the Italian and European research community.
PASQAL
PASQAL builds quantum computers from ordered neutral atoms in 2D and 3D arrays with the goal of bringing a practical quantum advantage to its customers in addressing real-world problems, especially in quantum simulation, quantum machine learning and optimization. PASQAL was founded in 2019 by Georges-Olivier Reymond, Christophe Jurczak, Professor Dr. Alain Aspect, Dr. Antoine Browaeys and Dr. Thierry Lahaye. With headquarters south of Paris, France, PASQAL has secured more than €40 million in financing and recently merged with quantum algorithms & software development startup Qu&Co, based in Amsterdam, to form a full-stack quantum computing company.
IBM Quantum
IBM Quantum leads the world in quantum computing. This nascent technology is widely expected to solve valuable problems that today’s most powerful classical supercomputers cannot solve and never will. Our community of clients and partners comprises of 190+ Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions, national labs, and startups. With the largest fleet of 20+ of the most powerful quantum systems in the world, we are aiming to turn the world’s most challenging problems into valuable opportunities.
Leonardo
The Leonardo Labs are technology incubators supporting the long-term research and development within the Leonardo company, a provider of high-tech aerospace, defense, and security solutions. The mission of our Quantum Computing Research Unit embraces the exploration of opportunities and challenges of quantum computation, its integration with HPC resources, and the investigation of potential early applications for company-specific use cases.
Fraunhofer Institute
The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) have worked towards establishing Stuttgart as an important center for quantum computing applications in Germany. As a result, the institutes have created two independent groups with a focus on quantum computing research and knowledge transfer. We pursue method-driven research in the fields of quantum machine learning and quantum optimization utilizing state-of-the art NISQ hardware. The core application domains include the manufacturing and process industry. Our mission is to advance the current state of the technology while preparing the industry for the emerging quantum computing disruption.
