Le Lab Quantique

🎉 C'est fait : la première Maison du Quantique française a officiellement ouvert ses portes hier à STATION F, grâce à l'impulsion du Lab Quantique, de HQI et de ses partenaires. Depuis sa création en 2018, Le Lab Quantique a toujours cherché à réunir l'écosystème quantique français grâce à ses Hackathons, Meetups et outils. C'est donc avec fierté que nous avons inauguré hier le premier lieu dédié à la réunion d'acteurs clés du quantique français. Nous remercions chaleureusement les 10 start-ups (Alice & Bob, Aqora, ColibriTD, CryptoNext Security, Multiverse Computing, QbitSoft, Quandela, Quantfi, Pasqal, Welinq) et 6 industriels (Boston Consulting Group, EDF, Eviden, OVHcloud, Janssen France, Thales) partenaires co-fondateurs de ce projet ainsi que Quantonation et Teratec. Merci à Paul Midy, Nelly GARNIER, Loic Duflot, Jacques-Charles Lafoucriere, Michel Paulin, Antoine Gourevitch, Guillaume Lerouge, David Sadek, Frédéric Barbaresco, Olivier Hess, Mohamed-Ramzi TEMANNI, PhD., Stéphane Tanguy, Marwan Elfitesse, Valerian Giesz, Théau Peronnin, Florence Vallot, Jean Lautier-Gaud, Olivier Pegeon, Dr Laurent Guiraud G., Hacène Goudjil, Michel Kurek, Florent Grosmaitre, Jannes Stubbemann, Ferdinand T., Kevin Callaghan, Bernard SALHA, Loïc Duflot, qui nous ont fait l'honneur de leur présence et qui prouvent que le quantique est au coeur des préoccupations des grands groupes mais aussi des décideurs politiques. Toute notre gratitude va envers HQI sans qui rien n'aurait été possible. Félicitations à tous pour ce bel événement, qui montre que la perspective d'un écosystème quantique fédéré n'est plus un rêve lointain mais une réalité qui se concrétise. Nous réaffirmons notre engagement en ce sens. A bientôt pour de nouveaux événements !

#MissionFrance | La délégation exécutive de l’ÉTS est de retour de la première mission diplomatique de sa directrice générale et cheffe de la direction, Kathy Baig, en France. Partenaire stratégique de premier plan, la France offre à l'ÉTS de multiples possibilités de croissance et de collaboration en matière de recherche et de mobilité étudiante internationale. Retour sur les jalons importants de la mission : ▪️ Le renouvellement du partenariat avec l'Assemblée des directeurs d'IUT, permettant aux étudiant(e)s des IUT de poursuivre leurs études au Canada, notamment dans le cadre du diplôme Bachelor Universitaire de Technologie (BUT) français, le seul diplôme hors Québec reconnu pour l'admission en formation d'ingénieur. ▪️ Le lancement de la section France du Réseau des diplômés, visant à offrir des activités de réseautage et des événements afin de renforcer les liens avec la communauté de diplômé(e)s en France.  ▪️ Des échanges avec des partenaires prestigieux comme l'Université Paris-Saclay, l'Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC) et le CNRS, portant sur des domaines de pointe tels que les technologies quantiques, les technologies de la santé et les infrastructures résilientes aux changements climatiques. ▪️ Des rencontres diplomatiques fructueuses avec la Délégation générale du Québec à Paris (DGQP) pour aborder le modèle unique de l’ÉTS. Un immense merci à toutes les institutions pour leur accueil chaleureux et leur collaboration! Pour en savoir plus : https://lnkd.in/eV_Qagqr

We’re excited to announce an important update in our collaboration with IBM Quantum, aimed at advancing quantum-centric supercomputing. Together, we’re working to develop a unified programming model built on Qiskit, IBM’s leading quantum software. This initiative will enable seamless integration of quantum and classical hardware resources, redefining possibilities for high-performance computing (HPC) workflows. 🔑 What does this mean? - A unified architecture that works across IBM’s quantum computers, Pasqal’s neutral atom quantum devices, and classical HPC resources like CPUs and GPUs. - Developers will be able to use Qiskit SDK to leverage Pasqal’s quantum hardware, making hybrid workflows more accessible than ever. - The model will enable users to select the best hardware for each task in a cohesive framework, accelerating the usability and performance of complex computational workflows. This collaboration reflects our commitment to enabling quantum developers and HPC users to harness the power of quantum technologies and create solutions for some of the world’s most complex computational challenges 🌍 Together with IBM, we’re laying the foundation for quantum-centric supercomputing and helping redefine the future of HPC. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this collaborative journey! 🌟 🔗 Read all the details here - https://lnkd.in/ettcciek #QuantumComputing #HPC #Innovation #Collaboration #IBMQuantum #Pasqal
