In an era where data and supercomputing centres, research institutes, universities, and private companies are considering how to best implement quantum computing into their compute solutions, ParTec has created a real alternative to purchasing expensive flagship systems from full-stack hardware developers. ParTec’s quantum computers are designed in a modular, qubit-agnostic approach that can accommodate different QPU types and quantum computing modalities.
The holistic solution also comprises an integration software to bridge between classical and quantum computing, an emulator acting as a digital twin of the physical system, as well as an open source based programming user environment.
ParTec’s flexible system integrator approach for quantum computing uses off-the-shelf components to optimally match the requirements of each customer. The component-based design, the minimized environmental requirements, the open software environment, and the seamless integration with classical HPC resources offer maximum protection for the quantum computing investment of ParTec’s customers.
After extensive conversations with numerous (potential) customers, ParTec has gained valuable insights into the main requirements for a quantum computing solution. Clients across various sectors have consistently emphasized the need for
Our overall quantum computing architecture combines our qubit-agnostic full-stack integration and QBridge, our software solution to integrate HPC and QC resources, with a digital twin of the physical customer system as well as a complete user environment for quantum computing on the classical system.
Below you will find an overview of the products within the platform solution:
The initial quantum computer product line is being developed in a project codenamed Eiger”: a preconfigured system based on superconducting qubit technology. The EIGER design can be scaled from small qubit counts to leading-edge QPU technologies, allowing research organizations, data centres as well as industrial customers to carry out any work from early quantum exploration to spearheading research.
The future quantum computer models will be manufactured and tested in ParTec`s soon to open Quantum Factory in the heart of Munich.
Preparing for practical Quantum Computing is becoming key for data and supercomputing centres, research institutes, universities and private companies. “EIGER” will be of particular interest for the following organisations:
To fully leverage the strengths of both, classical and quantum computing, ParTec and market leader in quantum control Quantum Machines teamed up to develop the new comprehensive software package QBridge that enables tight integration of quantum computers into HPC systems and finely interleaved multi-user access to one or multiple quantum computers.
For maximum performance, the integration works on the level of pulse-level tasks. Tasks from different jobs and users can be prioritised and scheduled according to policies managed by the HPC resource scheduler Slurm, effectively creating a virtual quantum computing environment.
QBridge is a first-of-its-kind commercially available solution and is tightly integrated with Quantum Machines’ OPX, a unique classical-quantum controller, empowering HPC users to tackle the complex task of improving performance from hybrid classical-quantum systems. For quantum computing researchers, it opens the door for programming advanced multi-qubit algorithms that require robust classical processing. It thus maximizes QPU utilization, user productivity and performance.
The first installation of QBridge was successfully rolled out at the Israeli Quantum Computing Center (QCC) during the first half of 2024.
ParTec`s overall quantum computing architecture combines the qubit-agnostic full-stack integration and QBridge with a digital twin of the physical customer system as well as a complete user environment for quantum computing on the classical system.
The open-source programming environment for ParTec’s quantum solutions supports algorithm development via Qiskit, Cirq, and Python as well as pulse-level programming via the language supported by the quantum control product deployed for the solution, currently QUA.
The software workbench provides easy access to and interchange between state-of-the-art HPC Quantum emulators (Aer, Intel-QS, Pennylane,..). Additionally noise models are used to incorporate real time calibration data into noise aware transpilation and simulation. The workflow and model repository allows for robust experimentation and reproducibility. Access to a Digital Twin for the QPU is provided (versioned for continuous development).
For customers who prefer to run the user environment and the digital twin in the cloud instead of on-premises, ParTec offers a Platform-as-a-Service solution in Amazon Web Service.
