OQC, JPMorgan, and AMD to Launch Quantum AI Research Data Center

OQC, JPMorgan, and AMD to launch Quantum AI research data center in London.

OQC, JPMorganChase, and AMD announced the launch of a research partnership program in London based at a dedicated Quantum-AI data center.

The facility will be used to explore quantum and hybrid computing within financial sector tasks.

The platform will integrate the OQC GENESIS quantum system with AMD’s infrastructure for AI and classical computing. The ecosystem will serve as a tool for simulation, optimization, language model development, and benchmarking.

The partners aim to test quantum approaches for optimizing financial portfolios. A separate focus will be the development of specialized AI models designed to enhance the performance of quantum circuits.

The parties also plan to investigate whether quantum-enhanced LLM can accelerate the discovery of new algorithms for financial tasks, and what role classical computing will play in creating scalable, fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.

OQC CEO Gerald Mullally emphasized the need to move from “isolated experiments” to secure computing environments for corporate clients.

AMD CTO Mark Papermaster highlighted that progress at the intersection of quantum computing and AI requires tightly integrated platforms with quantum systems, AI infrastructure, and HPC.

In June, Japanese holding Hamamatsu Photonics, its subsidiary NKT Photonics, and startup Yaqumo signed a memorandum of understanding for the joint development and commercialization of photonic systems intended for cold atom quantum computers.
