Atos partners with Total to tackle decarbonization using quantum algorithms

Paris, 7 July 2020

Atos, a global chief in digital transformation, announces a multi-yr partnership with French multinational energy firm Overall, to take a look at new and a lot more effective pathways to a decarbonized, energy-economical long run making use of quantum systems. Leveraging Atos’ distinctive Center for Excellence in Functionality Programming (CEPP) and Quantum R&D Software, this partnership aims to use quantum calculation to detect new products and molecules that will accelerate society’s journey to carbon neutrality.

This announcement follows Total’s acquisition, in 2019, of the world’s greatest-carrying out commercially out there quantum simulator, Atos Quantum Discovering Device (Atos QLM). Atos QLM is utilised by Atos and Overall to take a look at and accelerate existing quantum algorithms or build new kinds to accomplish breakthroughs in numerous fields, in individual the discovery of new products for carbon capture or energy storage. Their do the job focuses, amongst other points, on simulating larger sized sophisticated molecules than what is now achievable with HPC systems in order to uncover a lot more economical and inexpensive adsorbents.

As element of the partnership, Atos’ team of quantum specialists supports Overall in finely tuning quantum algorithms for best results and offers technical help on the Atos QLM.

Philippe Duluc, SVP, Chief Engineering Officer for Large Information and Safety at Atos reported: “We are very pleased to be working with our long-standing associate Overall in fighting local weather transform making use of the most state-of-the-art quantum systems out there. Obtaining carbon neutrality will be a single of society’s most tricky problem in the future a long time and jointly with Overall, we are fully commited to leverage our mutual potential for innovation to locate actionable insights and patterns that will aid our collective endeavours to construct a sustainable future”.
