While classical computing has come a long way over the last century, it still has its limitations, and our requirements are quickly surpassing what is possible with classical computing.
While quantum computing, especially fault-tolerant machines, is still a long way off, the industry is still gearing up for the revolution and Microsoft wants to lead the way.
In the meantime, it is understood and recognized that quantum computing will, in fact, be a hybrid of quantum and classical computing, likely enabled at scale in the public cloud.
Hybrid quantum computing
Microsoft Azure Quantum Program Manager Fabrice Frachon explains in a blog post (opens in new tab) How, “key to unlocking impactful, commercial applications at scale will be deep integration between classical computing capabilities, including HPC and AI, with scaled quantum computing in the cloud.”
And to boost this development, Microsoft has made its new Integrated Hybrid feature in Azure Quantum available to the public.
The company says its platform will enable developers to begin creating hybrid quantum applications that use a combination of classical and quantum code, and will work with machines such as the Quantinuum H-series.
Svore gives an example situation where the hybrid environment would be beneficial to users:
“Imagine the impactful applications in the future that will allow researchers to scale through massive datasets with the scale of AI, the insights of HPC to refine options, and the power of quantum at scale to improve model accuracy.”
In addition, the cloud hopes to take quantum computing to new levels, and classical computing capabilities in the cloud will help scientists solve quantum mechanical problems.
At this time, users are eligible for $500 in Azure Quantum credits to explore and experiment with today, and further research may be possible by requesting $10,000 in credits. Either way, hybrid quantum computing will long remain exclusive to those willing to spend large sums of money.
