Quantum Machines, a leading provider of quantum controllers, has opened the Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC) in Tel Aviv. The center, backed by the Israel Innovation Authority, integrates multiple types of quantum computers with supercomputers for ultra-fast communication. The IQCC is the first to house different qubit types and features the world’s best-equipped testbed for developing new quantum computing technologies. The center also includes DGX Quantum, a system for quantum-classical computing co-developed by Quantum Machines and NVIDIA. Dr. Itamar Sivan, CEO of Quantum Machines, and Dr. Yonatan Cohen, CTO, believe the center will accelerate the progress of practical quantum computing.
Israeli Quantum Computing Center: A Quantum Leap in Quantum Computing Research
The Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC), a pioneering research facility, has been inaugurated by Quantum Machines (QM), a company renowned for its processor-based quantum controllers. The IQCC, located at Tel Aviv University, is a product of the Israel Innovation Authority’s Israel National Quantum Initiative and is financially backed by the same. The center is designed to cater to the quantum computing industry and academic community both in Israel and globally.
The IQCC is a significant development in the global quantum computing landscape. Quantum computing research facilities of this caliber are typically inaccessible or offer limited access to those outside their organization. The IQCC, however, is designed to be an open architecture facility, ensuring continuous upgrades and scalability to remain at the forefront of quantum computing research. This approach is expected to accelerate the quantum computing ecosystem in Israel and internationally.
A Unique Integration of Quantum and Classical Computing Resources
The IQCC stands out for its unique integration of quantum and classical computing resources. It is the first facility globally to house multiple co-located quantum computers of different qubit types, all utilizing Quantum Machines’ processor-based OPX control system. The center is also tightly integrated with on-premise supercomputing resources and cloud accessibility, making it a highly advanced testbed for developing new quantum computing technologies.
A key feature of the IQCC is the deployment of DGX Quantum, a unified system for quantum-classical computing co-developed by Quantum Machines and NVIDIA. This system is integrated with a supercomputing cluster comprised of NVIDIA GPUs, and ARM and AMD CPUs, all connected to AWS cloud platforms for remote access and to leverage additional cloud computing resources. The center also utilizes QM’s new OPX1000 controller, designed to enable scaling to 1000+ qubits.
Accelerating Quantum Computing Development and Reducing Costs
The IQCC is designed to significantly accelerate the development process of quantum computing and reduce costs. Prior to the IQCC, a developer of a quantum processor chip would need to build their own testing setup, which could cost millions. Now, researchers can plug their chip into the IQCC’s testbed and benefit from the most advanced setup in the world.
The center is open to researchers and developers of quantum computers from around the world. By providing an open, cutting-edge platform for research and development, Quantum Machines aims to accelerate the progress of practical quantum computing and foster collaborative projects with industry leaders.
A Global Destination for Quantum Computing Research
The IQCC is poised to become a global destination for companies and researchers in the field of quantum computing. By providing an open, cutting-edge platform for research and development, Quantum Machines aims to accelerate the progress of practical quantum computing and foster collaborative projects with industry leaders. This is expected to secure Israel’s quantum independence and position it as a key player in the quantum computing revolution.
The IQCC’s inauguration ceremony will take place on June 24th, 2024 as part of Tel Aviv University’s AI and Cyber Week. For more information about the IQCC, its capabilities, and how to access the facility, please visit https://i-qcc.com/
