OQC, JPMorganChase, and AMD announced a research collaboration to develop a new Quantum-AI Data Centre in London. The platform integrates OQC’s GENESIS quantum system with AI and high-performance classical computing resources provided by AMD. JPMorganChase will be OQC’s first dedicated user of the U.K. platform, which is expected to become fully operational within 12 months.
JPMorganChase researchers will test near-term quantum and hybrid quantum-classical computing applications in a secure enterprise environment. The research will focus on portfolio optimization, quantum machine learning, development of specialized AI models to improve quantum circuit performance, discovery of novel algorithms for financial use cases, and the role of classical compute in scalable fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.
The platform physically combines the OQC GENESIS quantum system with AMD-supported AI, classical compute, high-performance computing resources, and application-level tooling for simulation, optimisation, AI model development, and benchmarking. It is designed to evaluate hybrid quantum-classical workflows for performance, scalability, and reproducibility in financial services operations.
“Quantum computing has to move from isolated experiments into the secure compute environments where enterprises actually work,” said Gerald Mullally, CEO of OQC.
“The financial services industry depends on understanding complexity, managing risk and making decisions with speed, security and confidence,” said Lori Beer, global chief information officer of JPMorganChase.
“Advancing quantum-AI research will require tightly integrated compute platforms that bring together quantum systems, AI infrastructure and high-performance classical computing,” said Mark Papermaster, executive vice president and chief technology officer at AMD.
