Paris, 7 July 2020 – Atos, a
global leader in digital transformation, announces a multi-year
partnership with French multinational energy company Total, to
explore new and more effective pathways to a decarbonized,
energy-efficient future using quantum technologies. Leveraging
Atos’ unique Center for Excellence in Performance Programming
(CEPP) and Quantum R&D Program, this partnership aims to use
quantum calculation to identify new materials and molecules that
will accelerate society's journey to carbon neutrality.
This announcement follows Total’s acquisition,
in 2019, of the world's highest-performing commercially available
quantum simulator, Atos Quantum Learning Machine (Atos QLM). Atos
QLM is used by Atos and Total to test and accelerate existing
quantum algorithms or create new ones to achieve breakthroughs in
various fields, in particular the discovery of new materials for
carbon capture or energy storage. Their work
focuses, amongst other things, on simulating larger complex
molecules than what is currently possible with HPC technologies in
order to uncover more efficient and affordable adsorbents.
As part of the partnership, Atos’ team of
quantum experts supports Total in finely tuning quantum algorithms
for optimal results and offers technical support on the Atos
QLM.
Philippe Duluc, SVP, Chief Technology
Officer for Big Data and Security at Atos said: “We are
proud to be working with our long-standing partner Total in
fighting climate change using the most advanced quantum
technologies available. Achieving carbon neutrality will be one of
society’s most difficult challenge in the upcoming decades and
together with Total, we are committed to leverage our mutual
capacity for innovation to find actionable insights and patterns
that will facilitate our collective efforts to build a sustainable
future”.
