Classiq Partners with Toshiba to Advance Gate-Based Quantum Computing

Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation and Classiq have announced a strategic technology partnership in the realm of gate-based quantum computing. The partnership aims to drive Quantum Transformation (QX) by integrating Classiq's platform with Toshiba's extensive expertise in quantum technology, AI, and IT. Quantum computers, which operate on the principles of quantum mechanics, are anticipated to solve complex problems far more efficiently than conventional computing. The next-gen technologies is broadly classified into the "Ising" machine type and the gate-based universal computer. The latter, although still in the development stage, is expected to find use in a wide array of applications in AI and Machine learning, optimization, and simulation. Toshiba Digital Solutions will utilize its extensive knowledge in quantum and AI technology to conduct technical evaluations of quantum AI using the Classiq platform. The results will guide the exploration of various use cases that gate-based quantum computing can address in fields such as energy, social infrastructure, smart manufacturing, carbon neutrality, and circular economy. Classiq provides a gate-based quantum computing software platform that enables both beginners and experts to generate, analyze, and execute quantum circuits rapidly. Toshiba Digital Solutions offers quantum technologies such as Quantum Key Distribution and SQBMTM, a quantum-inspired optimization solution. Toshiba's Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) applies the fundamental laws of Quantum Physics to secure network communications, providing organizations with the ability to revolutionize their IT infrastructure with the most secure communications known today. The Quantum-Inspired Optimization Solution SQBM+, based on the Simulated Bifurcation Machine, is a specialized combinatorial optimization computer. Classiq's new partnership comes on the heels of another recent collaboration with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Rolls-Royce (LON: RR) to enhance the efficiency of jet engines, in which the they designed and simulated the world's largest quantum computing circuit for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a critical component in jet engine design.
