Atos unveils global R&D Lab to drive innovation in Cybersecurity, High Performance Computing and Quantum
Les Clayes-sous-Bois (Yvelines), France – April 22, 2021
Atos these days officially inaugurates its new international Exploration & Improvement Lab in Les Clayes-sous-Bois, in the bigger Paris metropolitan location (Yvelines), France. The new 8,000 m2 lab, which hosts close to 350 of Atos’ very capable engineers, supplies a fashionable space focused to exploration in quantum computing, high-performance computing, edge, synthetic intelligence and cybersecurity.
Supported by the Ile-de-France Area and constructed on Atos’ current web page at Les Clayes-sous-Bois, which employs just about 1,000 individuals, this lab is a different milestone in Atos’ system to establish and globally placement the historical web page of Clayes-sous-Bois and the Ile-de-France Area as a solid center of complex know-how. “Atos Quantum”, Atos’ quantum computing exploration software and the 1st key quantum field software in Europe, benefits from an investment decision of €5 million from the Ile-de-FranceArea as section of its ‘Smart Industry’ system, adopted in July 2017.
Innovation to help the fight versus international warming
Decarbonization is a critical priority for Atos. The corporation is committed to minimizing the international carbon emissions underneath its command and affect by 50% by 2025 and to achieve “zero net emissions”, by 2028. The exploration developed in this new laboratory, conference the maximum environmental standards, will target on innovation to help the fight versus international warming, these as applying quantum calculation or the energy effectiveness of supercomputers to accelerate society’s journey to carbon neutrality. A further instance is the growth of a ‘supercomputer brain’ that will be ready to predict and improve energy usage based mostly on the workload and the energy offered in the electrical energy providers’ grids.
Inauguration Ceremony
The inauguration ceremony observed Valérie Pécresse, President of the Ile-de-FranceRegional Council say:“I am proud to be section of this growth of the field of the long run in the Ile-de-France Area. This new developing and investment decision show that we are preparing the long run proper listed here, proper now. We are committed to creating the Ile-de-France Area a territory of innovation, a digital chief at the coronary heart of the economic fabric. This new R&D lab is in line with our strategies to boost the implementation and growth of strategic systems, in certain quantum computing, in the Ile-de-France Area.”
“In partnership with the Ile-de-France Area, I am thrilled to officially open up our new R&D Lab these days which illustrates a lot more than 50 several years of exploration work carried out at our historical web page of Clayes-sous-Bois. From this symbolic web page we will generate forward our bold quantum computing software and establish strategic systems, solutions and solutions that will be offered around the world, and that will help form a harmless, decarbonized future” mentioned Elie Girard, CEO Atos.
Atos Quantum: a international software
The R&D lab will accommodate the exploration work conducted as section of the Atos Quantum software, released in 2016, which aims to accelerate the growth of scientific and field-related quantum computing use-situations. Atos researchers developed the Atos Quantum Mastering Device (Atos QLM), the world’s maximum-undertaking commercially offered quantum simulator, which is currently getting applied in various nations around the world which includes Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, the British isles and the United States, empowering key exploration courses in many sectors like field or energy. Atos also not long ago released “Q-rating”, the 1st universal quantum metrics, relevant to all programmable quantum processors, actions a quantum system’s success at dealing with real-existence issues, relatively than simply just measuring its theoretical performance.
