Briefings
PsiQuantum and AMD expanded their partnership to co-design infrastructure for utility-scale quantum computing, including Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs, and the ROCm software stack. The collaboration focuses on pharmaceutical research and drug discovery, leveraging PsiQuantum's silicon photonics and a machine-learning decoder called PRISM for real-time error correction. AMD plans an equity investment in PsiQuantum, and both companies will explore a footprint at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago.
Key points
- PsiQuantum and AMD announced a strategic partnership to co-design infrastructure for utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum systems, extending beyond Versal FPGAs to include Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs, and the ROCm software stack.
- The collaboration focuses on pharmaceutical research and drug discovery, utilizing PsiQuantum's silicon photonics platform and a machine-learning decoder named PRISM for real-time error correction in covalent inhibitor simulations.
Context
This partnership aligns with the U.S. Department of Energy's Quantum Genesis Priority Applications, targeting biological modeling for drug discovery. It builds on existing work with AMD Versal FPGAs and involves an equity investment from AMD into PsiQuantum.
Limitations
Evidence covers the announcement of the partnership and initial focus on pharmaceutical research. Specific dates for the equity investment are not provided, and the timeline for the Chicago footprint at IQMP is not specified.
