IBM Unveils Quantum Computing Research Center in Spain
Read MoreHide Full Article
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM - Free Report) recently announced the launch of Quantum Computational Center in collaboration with Fundación Ikerbasque in the Basque Country of Spain. This is the second such facility established in Europe. Ikerbasque becomes the latest addition to the IBM Quantum Network, a growing global community of around 200 members working on advancing quantum computing and exploring its real-world applications. The newly-introduced center will work with the Basque country government, businesses and academic partners to develop innovative quantum technology solutions to facilitate regional scientific advancement.
As technology and innovation move forward, scientists and researchers frequently encounter questions with a higher degree of complexity. Sometimes there are many variables in the plate, which interact in a complicated way. Even supercomputers with thousands of classical CPU and GPU cores struggle to produce a useful model. IBM is putting its resources and innovation into tackling these issues and equipping scientists with cutting-edge quantum technology solutions by developing the next-generation quantum computing infrastructure.
The collaboration aims to enhance international research and industrial cooperation and construct a world-class quantum-trained community pool with comprehensive learning programs. Advancement of the Quantum ecosystem has a wide array of possibilities, such as streamlining complex scientific research related to physics, material sciences and information science, addressing real-world issues such as ensuring sustainability, fostering overall economic development and improving social welfare through technological innovation.
IBM has evolved as a provider of cloud and data platforms. Red Hat’s acquisition, in particular, has helped it strengthen its competitive position in the hybrid cloud market. With the Red Hat buyout, the company offers a Linux operating system — Red Hat Enterprise Linux — and a hybrid cloud platform — Red Hat OpenShift — that aid enterprises with digital transformation. The company provides advanced information technology solutions, computer systems, quantum computing and supercomputing solutions, enterprise software, storage systems and microelectronics.
It is poised to benefit from strong demand for hybrid cloud and AI, driving growth in Software and Consulting segments. The company’s growth is expected to be driven primarily by analytics, cloud computing, and security in the long haul. A combination of a better business mix, improving operating leverage through productivity gains and increased investment in growth opportunities will drive profitability. IBM's research and development (R&D) initiatives set it apart from its peers. On an annual basis, the company invests around 7-8% in R&D to reap high-growth and high-value opportunities.
The stock has lost 4.7% in the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 15.4%.
