AMD plans PsiQuantum investment, expands quantum partnership

AMD plans to make an undisclosed equity investment in PsiQuantum as the companies expand their partnership to design infrastructure for utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. The collaboration combines AMD’s GPUs, CPUs, programmable chips and software with PsiQuantum’s silicon-photonics technology, with the goal of integrating quantum computing with high-performance computing and AI. The companies are also developing real-time error-correction tools and report promising simulations of covalent inhibitors, molecules relevant to cancer drug research; they will explore collaboration at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago.
