Capgemini has inked a deal with IBM to become an “IBM Quantum Hub.” The French SI will provide access to IBM’s quantum computing systems as well as professional services. Capgemini will set up an in-house quantum technology team to develop quantum technologies the consulting giant has announced.<\/p>\n

The collaboration with IBM also includes ways to help IBM & customers build their own services in the area of Quantum Computing.<\/p>\n

The Quantum Lab (Q-Lab) of the French systems integrator is comprised of quantum technology experts and operates in UK, Portugal, and India to help users utilize the potential of quantum technologies.<\/p>\n

The Q-Lab of Capgemini will coordinate research programs to develop business-driven client propositions for sectors that are most likely to benefit from the use of the quantum technologies shortly, such as life sciences, financial services, automotive, and aerospace.<\/p>\n

Pascal Brier, the chief innovation officer at Capgemini and member of the group executive committee, stated, \u201cThe launch of our Q-lab tangibly demonstrates our ambition to bring our clients the most innovative, breakthrough solutions, and to invest in capabilities early on so we can become the leading quantum systems integrator.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur collaboration with IBM will enable us to explore the vast potential of quantum computing, bringing our clients the top capabilities and skills available in the market today and tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Way Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The deal will enable the customers of Capgemini to access the quantum computing systems of IBM, including IBM\u2019s recently announced 127 qubit processor, \u201cEagle\u201d along with IBM\u2019s quantum expertise and Qiskit, the open source quantum software development kit by IBM.<\/p>\n

The deal will see the IBM Quantum team and clients researching and exploring how quantum computing will aid an array of industries and disciplines such as Energy, Material Science, Finance, Chemistry, and Machine Learning.<\/p>\n

Through this agreement, Capgemini will facilitate clients to access IBM\u2019s licensed technology and provide them with professional services for end-to-end implementation.<\/p>\n

The company also intends to demonstrate with prototypes and proofs and concepts, the potential value of leveraging quantum technologies to tackle previously intractable business problems for clients, working for the implementation of quantum computing use cases.<\/p>\n

According to Jay Gambetta, IBM Fellow and VP, Quantum Computing, \u201cEstablishing a quantum industry will require a deep focus on expanding the quantum computing ecosystem across public and private sectors \u2013 something IBM cannot do alone.<\/p>\n

By working with Capgemini, clients have even more options for hands-on expertise to develop proofs of concepts to explore the potential of quantum computing across a variety of industries and disciplines.\u201d<\/p>\n
