IBM and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) have announced a collaboration to develop next-generation computing architectures that combine quantum computing with high-performance classical computing, a concept they refer to as quantum-centric supercomputing. This partnership aims to integrate AMD's central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with IBM's advanced quantum computing technology to create hybrid systems capable of solving complex real-world challenges at unprecedented speed and scale. The companies plan to develop scalable, open-source platforms that blend quantum and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with high-performance hardware and software. An initial demonstration of their hybrid quantum-classical workflows is expected later in 2025. The collaboration also targets the development of real-time error correction techniques, aiming to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030. Following the announcement, shares of both IBM and AMD rose. Industry experts note that this partnership could position IBM and AMD as key infrastructure players in the emerging convergence of quantum computing and AI. The initiative reflects IBM's leadership in quantum computing and AMD's expertise in AI and high-performance computing, with ambitions to address significant scientific, industrial, and technological challenges through this hybrid approach.
