Israeli quantum computing center revolutionizes data centers with quantum integration

The Israel Quantum Computing Center (IQCC), a world first of its kind, is revolutionizing the future of data centers by integrating quantum computers with traditional supercomputers. The center, which uses the NVIDIA DGX Quantum system for ultra-fast communication, also has the world's most advanced testbed for developing new quantum computing technologies.

In 2022, the Israel Innovation Authority allocated a budget of NIS 100 million ($27 million) over three years to Quantum Machines to establish the IQCC. The mission of the center is to provide unprecedented access to research and development at all layers of hardware and software in three different quantum processing technologies. It also aims to provide a full stack quantum computer to all kinds of developers of quantum computing technologies.

Unlike other quantum computing research facilities, the IQCC, located at Tel-Aviv University, is open to the public and encourages developers to bring their quantum chips for testing. The center's open architecture approach ensures that it can be continuously upgraded and scaled to stay on the cutting edge. It also offers several educational programs to help organizations prepare for quantum computing.

According to Global Quantum Intelligence's QAM (Quantum Addressable Market) engine, the current market for quantum computing is limited, but projections by 2030 indicate that the market could approach $10 billion and exceed $25 billion by 2035. Quantum technology is already recognized as a significant value enabler, especially in the area of ​​cyber security.

Itamar Sivan, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Machines, believes that the most important advance in quantum computing in the next five years will be the availability of quantum accelerators that can be used as seamlessly as today's GPUs. He predicts that the division of labor between classical and quantum computers will not just be a temporary phase in the evolution of the industry, but a permanent feature of the data center of the future.

Several companies have contributed to the development of the center's current infrastructure, including NVIDIA, QuantWare, ORCA Computing, ParTec, Classiq and AWS. The Israel Quantum Computing Center shows the 3D future of the data center, with traditional processors tightly integrated with AI systems and quantum accelerators, each part optimally performs the application or application component best suited to its functionality and features.
