PARIS, 05-Dec-2018 — /EuropaWire/ — Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, today holds its 5th Atos Quantum Scientific Council meeting in Bezons. The members of the Scientific Council made of universally recognized quantum physicists and mathematicians reviewed the two research and development projects selected for the „Quantum Flagship“ – a one-billion-euro EU-funded initiative to develop quantum technologies – and acknowledged the European leadership of Atos in the quantum field.
As part of the „Quantum Flagship“ Initiative in the EU H2020 program, Atos will bring its expertise in two key research areas: Quantum computing and Quantum simulations.
Following the Atos Quantum Council Meeting, Thierry Breton, Atos Chairman and CEO said:
“Having two of our Quantum projects selected by the „Quantum Flagship Initiative“ launched by the European Union is a great achievement and establishes Atos as a leader in quantum computing. Our teams of researchers – supported by a world-renowned Scientific Council – have developed the most powerful quantum simulator on the market, which is now adopted by the world’s most prestigious universities and centres. Thanks to our global R&D laboratory dedicated to quantum computing, we are fully committed to make Atos and Europe leaders in this already major technology“.
Quantum computing should make it possible, in the years to come, to deal with the explosion of data, which Big Data and the Internet of Things bring about. With its targeted and unprecedented compute acceleration capabilities, quantum computing should also promote advances in deep learning, algorithmics and artificial intelligence for areas as varied as pharmaceuticals or new materials. To make progress on these topics, Atos intends to also put in place several partnerships with research centers and universities around the world.
