Overview

• IBM and AMD plan to integrate AMD CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs with IBM quantum processors to run hybrid quantum‑classical workflows.
• The companies commit to open, scalable platforms and will leverage Qiskit to accelerate development and adoption of new algorithms.
• The collaboration explores AMD hardware for real‑time error correction in support of reliable, fault‑tolerant quantum systems by the decade’s end.
• Targeted research uses include drug discovery, materials science, and supply‑chain optimization.
• The effort remains in development with no public technical results yet, and IBM points to prior quantum‑classical links such as connecting Quantum System Two to Japan’s Fugaku via RIKEN as groundwork.
