Les Clayes-sous-Bois (Yvelines), France – April 22, 2021
Atos today formally inaugurates its new worldwide Investigate & Advancement Lab in Les Clayes-sous-Bois, in the higher Paris metropolitan spot (Yvelines), France. The new 8,000 m2 lab, which hosts around 350 of Atos’ really capable engineers, provides a fashionable space devoted to exploration in quantum computing, substantial-efficiency computing, edge, synthetic intelligence and cybersecurity.
Supported by the Ile-de-France Region and crafted on Atos’ present site at Les Clayes-sous-Bois, which employs pretty much 1,000 people, this lab is a further milestone in Atos’ system to create and globally position the historical site of Clayes-sous-Bois and the Ile-de-France Region as a solid centre of complex expertise. “Atos Quantum”, Atos’ quantum computing exploration system and the very first main quantum industry system in Europe, rewards from an investment of €5 million from the Ile-de-FranceRegion as component of its ‘Smart Industry’ system, adopted in July 2017.
Innovation to aid the combat against worldwide warming
Decarbonization is a essential precedence for Atos. The enterprise is dedicated to minimizing the worldwide carbon emissions beneath its handle and influence by 50% by 2025 and to accomplish “zero web emissions”, by 2028. The exploration designed in this new laboratory, meeting the best environmental criteria, will focus on innovation to aid the combat against worldwide warming, this kind of as using quantum calculation or the electricity effectiveness of supercomputers to speed up society’s journey to carbon neutrality. Yet another example is the growth of a ‘supercomputer brain’ that will be ready to forecast and improve electricity usage dependent on the workload and the electricity available in the electricity providers’ grids.
Inauguration Ceremony
The inauguration ceremony observed Valérie Pécresse, President of the Ile-de-FranceRegional Council say:“I am very pleased to be component of this growth of the industry of the foreseeable future in the Ile-de-France Region. This new developing and investment present that we are making ready the foreseeable future right here, right now. We are dedicated to creating the Ile-de-France Region a territory of innovation, a digital leader at the heart of the economic material. This new R&D lab is in line with our ideas to boost the implementation and growth of strategic technologies, in unique quantum computing, in the Ile-de-France Region.”
“In partnership with the Ile-de-France Region, I am thrilled to formally open our new R&D Lab today which illustrates additional than 50 years of exploration do the job carried out at our historical site of Clayes-sous-Bois. From this symbolic site we will drive ahead our ambitious quantum computing system and create strategic technologies, merchandise and remedies that will be bought throughout the world, and that will help shape a harmless, decarbonized future” explained Elie Girard, CEO Atos.
Atos Quantum: a worldwide system
The R&D lab will accommodate the exploration do the job done as component of the Atos Quantum system, released in 2016, which aims to speed up the growth of scientific and industry-applicable quantum computing use-instances. Atos scientists designed the Atos Quantum Mastering Device (Atos QLM), the world’s best-performing commercially available quantum simulator, which is by now staying utilized in numerous international locations throughout the world like Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, the British isles and the United States, empowering main exploration courses in different sectors like industry or electricity. Atos also a short while ago released “Q-rating”, the very first universal quantum metrics, applicable to all programmable quantum processors, measures a quantum system’s efficiency at handling true-existence issues, fairly than merely measuring its theoretical efficiency.
