DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aramco, one of the world's leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, has signed an agreement with Pasqal, a global leader in neutral atom quantum computing, to install the first quantum computer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

沙特阿拉伯达兰,2024年5月20日 /PRNewswire/ — 全球领先的综合能源和化工公司之一阿美已与中性原子量子计算领域的全球领导者帕斯卡尔签署协议,在沙特阿拉伯王国安装第一台量子计算机。

The agreement will see Pasqal install, maintain, and operate a 200-qubit quantum computer, which is scheduled for deployment in the second half of 2025.

该协议将要求Pasqal安装、维护和运营一台200量子比特的量子计算机,该计算机计划于2025年下半年部署。

Ahmad Al-Khowaiter, Aramco EVP of Technology & Innovation, said: "Aramco is delighted to partner with Pasqal to bring cutting-edge, high-performance quantum computing capabilities to the Kingdom. In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, we believe it is crucial to seize opportunities presented by new, impactful technologies and we aim to pioneer the use of quantum computing in the energy sector. Our agreement with Pasqal allows us to harness the expertise of a leading player in this field, as we continue to build state-of-the-art solutions into our business. It is also further evidence of our contribution to the growth of the digital economy in Saudi Arabia."

阿美石油公司技术与创新执行副总裁艾哈迈德·霍韦特说: “阿美很高兴与Pasqal合作,为沙特带来尖端的高性能量子计算能力。在快速变化的数字环境中,我们认为抓住具有影响力的新技术带来的机遇至关重要,我们的目标是开创量子计算在能源领域的应用。我们与Pasqal的协议使我们能够利用该领域领先企业的专业知识,继续为我们的业务构建最先进的解决方案。这也进一步证明了我们对沙特阿拉伯数字经济增长的贡献。”

Georges-Olivier Reymond, Pasqal CEO & Co-founder, said: "The era of quantum computing is here. No longer confined to theory, it's transitioning to real-world applications, empowering organisations to solve previously intractable problems at scale. Since launching Pasqal in 2019, we have directed our efforts towards concrete quantum computing algorithms immediately applicable to customer use cases. Through this agreement, we'll be at the forefront of accelerating commercial adoption of this transformative technology in Saudi Arabia. This isn't just any quantum computer; it will be the most powerful tool deployed for industrial usages, unlocking a new era of innovation for businesses and society."

Pasqal 首席执行官兼联合创始人 Georges-Olivier Reymond 表示: “量子计算时代已经到来。它不再局限于理论,它正在过渡到现实世界的应用程序,使组织能够大规模解决以前棘手的问题。自2019年推出Pasqal以来,我们一直将精力集中在立即适用于客户用例的具体量子计算算法上。通过该协议,我们将站在加快沙特阿拉伯商业采用这一变革性技术的最前沿。这不仅仅是任何量子计算机;它将是为工业用途部署的最强大的工具,为企业和社会开启一个新的创新时代。”

The quantum computer will initially use an approach called "analog mode." Within the following year, the system will be upgraded to a more advanced hybrid "analog-digital mode," which is more powerful and able to solve even more complex problems.

量子计算机最初将使用一种称为 “模拟模式” 的方法。次年内,该系统将升级到更先进的混合 “模数模式”,该模式更强大,能够解决更复杂的问题。

Pasqal and Aramco intend to leverage the quantum computer to identify new use cases, and have an ambitious vision to establish a powerhouse for quantum research within Saudi Arabia. This would involve leading academic institutions with the aim of fostering breakthroughs in quantum algorithm development — a crucial step for unlocking the true potential of quantum computing.

Pasqal和阿美打算利用量子计算机来识别新的用例,并雄心勃勃地愿景是在沙特阿拉伯建立一个强大的量子研究中心。这将涉及领先的学术机构,旨在促进量子算法开发的突破——这是释放量子计算真正潜力的关键一步。

The agreement also accelerates Pasqal's activity in Saudi Arabia, having established an office in the Kingdom in 2023, and follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the companies in 2022 to collaborate on quantum computing capabilities and applications in the energy sector. In 2023, Aramco's Wa'ed Ventures also participated in Pasqal's Series B fundraising round.

该协议还加速了Pasqal在沙特阿拉伯的活动,于2023年在沙特阿拉伯设立了办事处,此前两家公司于2022年签署了谅解备忘录,在能源领域的量子计算能力和应用方面进行合作。2023年,阿美的Wa'ed Ventures还参与了帕斯卡尔的B轮融资。
