Quantum Brilliance and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) said they will collaborate on a platform that couples quantum computing with high-performance computing (HPC).
Under the partnership, Quantum Brilliance's on-premise quantum computing cluster will integrated into ORNL's HPC systems. Specifically, Quantum Brilliance's room-temperature diamond quantum accelerators and ORNL's infrastructure will be combined to solve problems traditional computing can't.
Constellation Research analyst Holger Mueller said:
"The foreseeable performance of quantum systems is not sufficient to solve many of the real-world quantum problems. One solution is the combination of quantum with HPC, where part of the process is offloaded to tried and tested HPC architectures and platforms. The partnership between Quantum Brilliance and Oak Ridge Laboratory brings on some formidable players in the field – so we will see what comes out of this partnership – hopefully soon."

Melding quantum computing and HPC has become a common theme in the industry. Quantum Brilliance and ORNL said they will focus on hybrid and parallel quantum computing. The goal is to leverage CPUs, GPUs and quantum processors to solve problems.
In a statement, the companies said the collaboration plans to "co-develop new computational methods that exploit parallel and hybrid computing and new software tools that will enable users to implement those methods and develop their own."
