UAE’s ITQAN, a leading Systems Integrator and QuEra Computing, a Boston-based pioneer in neutral-atom quantum computing, have announced their partnership to accelerate the UAE’s adoption and leadership in real-world quantum computing applications.
In a determined effort to foster a dynamic quantum computing ecosystem in the UAE, ITQAN and QuEra are setting the stage for a comprehensive framework that promises to accelerate the UAE’s quantum computing trajectory and catalyse the practical application of quantum technologies across diverse sectors.
While ITQAN is renowned for its expertise in integrating cutting-edge technologies into comprehensive solutions, this collaboration also draws on QuEra’s foundational research, conducted in association with luminaries from Harvard, MIT, and its in-house team. QuEra has emerged as a leader in the quantum computing domain, highlighted by its pioneering launch of the world’s first publicly accessible 256-qubit quantum computer.
This alliance marks a significant stride in ITQAN’s ongoing endeavour to bring the forefront technologies to the UAE, which resonates with the nation’s strategic imperative to spearhead technological innovation. Moreover, this partnership brings new opportunities for the expanded accessibility and expedited deployment of quantum computing solutions within the UAE, paving the way for a transformative quantum ecosystem.
Ali Jaber Al Yafei, CEO of United Technology Holding, the parent group company of ITQAN Al Khaleej, commented: “We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with QuEra in the realm of quantum computing. This collaboration aligns perfectly with the progressive technological advancements fostered by the UAE. We believe this partnership will form a fertile ground for propelling applied research and realising practical solutions to real-world problems through the immense power of quantum computing.”
Yuval Boger, Chief Marketing Officer of QuEra Computing commented: “Our collaboration with ITQAN marks an exciting moment in quantum advancement. By combining QuEra’s groundbreaking quantum computing technology with ITQAN’s integration prowess, we are not just contributing to the UAE’s technological milestones but also empowering industries to unlock unprecedented possibilities. This partnership is set to raise the bar on what’s achievable, paving the way for practical quantum applications that can revolutionise fields from energy to finance and logistics.”
The synergy between ITQAN and QuEra’s expansive expertise ensures a cohesive suite of development and support services aimed at facilitating a seamless transition for organisations exploring the quantum computing landscape.
