Oak Ridge Starts Weaving Together a Quantum, Classical HPC, and AI System Stack
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is advancing the integration of quantum computing with classical supercomputers and AI systems. This initiative aims to address complex calculations that traditional high-performance computing (HPC) may struggle with. The collaboration involves major players like IBM and Nvidia, focusing on seamless interoperability and the development of new algorithms and software.
