Atos: selected for two quantum Flagship Initiative programs
(CercleFinance.com) - Atos group today announced that it has been chosen by the European Commission for two research and development projects integrated into the "Quantum Flagship" program - a one-billion-euro EU-funded initiative to develop quantum technologies.
Therefore, Atos will be responsible for the Aqtion project, which aims to realise a fully-automated ion-trap quantum computer to solve scientific and commercially interesting problems. The group will also take care of the PASQuanS project, which intends to create the well-advanced neutral atom and ion-based quantum simulation platforms up to 500 atoms.
"Having two of our Quantum projects selected by the "Quantum Flagship Initiative" launched by the European Union is a great achievement and establishes Atos as a leader in quantum computing," Atos' Chairman and CEO, Thierry Breton said.
