HPE and a consortium of seven other leading technology organizations announced the formation of the Quantum Scaling Alliance, a global initiative dedicated to making quantum computing scalable, practical, and transformative across industries. Dr. Masoud Mohseni from HPE Labs, the applied research arm of HPE, oversees the initiative and serves as quantum system architect, coordinating efforts among eight organizations, each a leader in its field. The Alliance is co-led by John Martinis, 2025 Nobel Laureate recognized for pioneering advances in quantum computing and currently serving as co-founder and CTO at Qolab.
The consortium was formed to design and develop a practically useful and cost-effective quantum supercomputer, by leveraging the expertise of today's supercomputing and semiconductor ecosystem. The Quantum Scaling Alliance brings together cross-functional expertise with the mission to scale quantum computing from proof-of-principle demonstrations to industry-scale applications.ounding members of the Quantum Scaling Alliance and their areas of expertise are: 1QBit: Fault-tolerant quantum error correction design and simulation, algorithm compilation, and automated resource estimations; Applied Materials Inc.: Materials engineering and semiconductor fabrication; HPE: Full-stack quantum-HPC integration and software developments; Qolab: Qubit and circuit design; Quantum Machines: Hybrid quantum-classical control for scalable quantum computing; Riverlane: Quantum error correction; Synopsys: Simulation and analysis technology, EDA tools, and semiconductor IP; University of Wisconsin: Algorithms, benchmarks. HPE, a leader in high performance computing, is collaborating with the Quantum Scaling Alliance to build scalable, hybrid solutions that seamlessly integrate quantum capabilities with classical high-performance computing and advanced networking.
This convergence is opening new frontiers in drug discovery, materials research, optimization, and secure data processing. The Alliance's work not only accelerates scientific discovery and enterprise innovation but also prepares organizations for the profound shifts ahead--from productivity gains through new acceleration technologies to the challenges of post-quantum security.
