The impact was achieved on a programme simulating molecules, and delivered thanks in part to Qiskit Runtime, a containerised service for quantum computers that allowed quantum workloads to be run entirely on the cloud
Comment by Mark Boost, CEO at Civo
Mark Boost, CEO of Civo, said: “The advancement of quantum computing is already well underway but what IBM’s containerised service provides is a literal quantum leap from working on slow proprietary systems to being able to create ‘quantum-native’ applications, similar to how containers enable cloud-native development. This is hugely exciting for developers looking to leverage quantum computing in their applications.”
“Developers don’t want to be waiting around working on slow, laggy systems. I expect the Qiskit Runtime will encourage more developers to experiment with quantum computing and it won’t be long before quantum computing has viable commercial applications – and containerisation is key to a commercial rollout.”
Civo is a managed Kubernetes provider built for developers, offering the first production-ready managed Kubernetes platform to run on K3s.
