IBM and AMD are partnering to develop next-generation computing architectures that integrate IBM’s quantum systems with AMD’s AI-specialized chips. The move could position both the tech giant and chipmaker as key infrastructure players, as they look to regain ground after falling behind on the generative AI boom.

Together, IBM and AMD will attempt to launch a commercially viable quantum computing architecture – one that’s scalable and open-sourced. In other words, it will be more widely accessible to researchers and developers solving complex real-world problems in fields like drug and materials discovery, optimization, and logistics, per IBM.

“Quantum computing will simulate the natural world and represent information in an entirely new way,” said Arvind Krishna, chairman and CEO of IBM, in a statement. “By exploring how quantum computers from IBM and the advanced high-performance compute technologies of AMD can work together, we will build a powerful hybrid model that pushes past the limits of traditional computing.”
