After launching a software-as-a-service (SaaS) quantum computing solution earlier this year, Quantum Computing (QCI) has rolled out a new partner programme for the scheme for those who want their cats dead and alive.
Qatalyst makes quantum computing resources readily accessible to users on classic computer systems, reducing related costs and deployment time. The new Partner Program seeks to take this a step further, extending Qatalyst’s benefits to partners’ customers.
The Qatalyst platform offers what QCI calls a “seamless quantum bridge” that connects classical and quantum computers. Instead of working in binary bits like conventional devices, quantum computers operate on qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously. As a result, quantum computers can process far more possibilities at once, solving more complex problems faster. For businesses looking to crunch more and more data, quantum computing could be an important breakthrough.
QCI VP Rebel Brown said: “Our partner programme creates a practical path to quantum computing, with minimal risk. Quantum computing is an exciting emerging technology, but it requires a significant investment in expertise to properly program and utilize it. Our programme offers organisations the opportunity to explore the benefits of quantum computing without having to invest in this costly expertise, or the long timeframes required to develop a single quantum program.”
Users can use their current devices and applications to send problems through Qatalyst and get answers from quantum computers. The QCI Partner Programme expands on this accessibility by letting partners extend connectivity to their clients.
QCI’s Partner Programme is aimed specifically at new quantum computing vendors. Traditionally, QPU vendors would have to develop their own software to offer quantum benefits to clients. Instead, the Partner Programme grants access to Qatalyst as a ready-made QPU solution, connecting their customers to quantum resources faster.
