Supercomputer and quantum computer combined for the first time: this is the future of hybrid computing

Quantum Brilliance has developed a quantum computer processor that can operate at room temperature.

temperature. Its qubits are made not from superconductors, but from defects in diamond lattices, which are much less sensitive to thermal fluctuations and more resistant to mechanical shock.

And now this quantum processor has been installed inPawsey Supercomputer Research Center in Western Australia. This is the first time that a quantum computer has been integrated directly into a rack alongside a traditional supercomputer—in this case, the new HPE Cray Ex supercomputer from Pawsey Setonix.

The installation will test hybrid models of quantum and traditional computing. Some computing tasks will only be performed by a quantum processor to achieve an advantage. 

Quantum computers have the potentialwhich is superior to conventional computers. They can perform calculations much faster because quantum bits (qubits) of information can exist in multiple states at the same time, and data can be transferred instantly due to quantum entanglement.
