Insights
IBM-AMD partnership to develop quantum-centric supercomputing represents a significant strategic alliance that could reshape future computing architectures.
This strategic partnership between IBM and AMD marks a pivotal development in the computing landscape. IBM brings its quantum computing expertise while AMD contributes its high-performance computing and AI acceleration capabilities. The collaboration aims to create a hybrid architecture where quantum and classical computing work in tandem鈥攁 quantum-centric supercomputing model.
The technical significance here cannot be overstated. Traditional computing faces fundamental limitations when modeling quantum mechanical systems or solving extremely complex optimization problems. By integrating AMD's CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs with IBM's quantum systems, this partnership addresses the current limitations of both paradigms working independently.
The planned initial demonstration later this year will be a critical proof-of-concept showing how these technologies can deploy hybrid quantum-classical workflows. Perhaps most importantly, AMD's technologies could potentially provide real-time error correction capabilities鈥攁 crucial element for achieving IBM's goal of fault-tolerant quantum computing by decade's end.
This collaboration builds on both companies' established leadership: IBM's ongoing work with organizations like RIKEN to connect quantum computers with classical supercomputers, and AMD's proven track record powering the world's fastest supercomputers (Frontier and El Capitan). The partnership represents a strategic bet that the future of advanced computing lies not in quantum computing replacing classical systems, but in both technologies working complementarily to solve previously intractable problems.

Quantum computing is a completely different way to represent and process information. While classical computers use bits that can only be either a zero or one, quantum computers' qubits represent information according to the quantum mechanical laws of nature. These properties enable a much richer computational space to explore solutions to complex problems beyond the reach of classical computing alone, including in fields such as drug discovery, materials discovery, optimization, and logistics.
"Quantum computing will simulate the natural world and represent information in an entirely new way," said Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO, IBM. "By exploring how quantum computers from IBM and the advanced high-performance聽compute聽technologies of AMD can work together, we will build a powerful hybrid model that pushes past the limits of traditional computing."
"High-performance computing is the foundation for solving the world's most important challenges," said Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD. "As we partner with IBM to explore the convergence of high-performance computing and quantum technologies, we see tremendous opportunities to accelerate discovery and innovation."
In a quantum-centric supercomputing architecture, quantum computers work in tandem with powerful high-performance computing and AI infrastructure, which are typically supported by CPUs, GPUs and other compute engines. In this hybrid approach, different components of a problem are tackled by the paradigm best suited to solve them. For example, in the future, quantum computers could simulate the behavior of atoms and molecules, while classical supercomputers powered by AI could handle massive data analysis. Together, these technologies could tackle real-world problems at unprecedented speed and scale.
AMD and IBM are exploring how to integrate AMD CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs with IBM quantum computers to efficiently accelerate a new class of emerging algorithms, which are outside the current reach of either paradigm working independently. The proposed effort could also help progress IBM's vision to deliver fault-tolerant quantum computers by the end of this decade. AMD technologies offer promise for providing real-time error correction capabilities, a key element of fault-tolerant quantum computing.
The teams are planning an initial demonstration later this year to show how IBM quantum computers can work in tandem with AMD technologies to deploy hybrid quantum-classical workflows. The companies also plan to explore how open-source ecosystems, such as Qiskit, could catalyze the development and adoption of new algorithms that leverage quantum-centric supercomputing.
IBM has already initiated the first steps towards a vision in which quantum and classical computing are seamlessly integrated, including a with RIKEN to deploy and directly connect IBM's modular quantum computer, IBM Quantum System Two, with Fugaku, one of the world's fastest classical supercomputers; as well as work with industry leaders such as Cleveland Clinic, the Basque Government, and Lockheed Martin to demonstrate how combining quantum and classical resources could return valuable results for difficult problems, beyond what classical computers can do on their own.
