Why Eviden

Collaboration with Eviden enhances Hartree’s expertise and ability to develop more resilient technology solutions for industry. Qaptiva 800, previously known as the Quantum Learning Machine, will provide a platform on which Hartree can develop new quantum algorithms with potential impacts across many businesses.

Enhancing R&D with Eviden’s quantum emulator and BullSequana X800 servers at the Hartree Centre

To expand its capabilities, the Hartree Centre has integrated Eviden’s Qaptiva quantum emulator appliance with its existing supercomputing resources. Each appliance can simulate quantum computers with up to 38 qubits, using the BullSequana X800 servers. These simulators support gate, annealing and analog quantum programming models. This seamless integration allows businesses to leverage advanced quantum emulation to enhance their research and development efforts.

The Hartree Centre was one of the first supercomputing centers globally to offer a programming environment and quantum emulation capabilities worldwide.

More power to the developers

By offering computing time as a service, the Centre enabled developers to improve productivity by reducing validation time. Additionally, the Hartree Centre’s flexible delivery model, powered by Eviden, enables businesses to scale resources to meet changing requirements.
