(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, 1(st) June 2017 - Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, held
yesterday its 'Atos Quantum' Scientific Council meeting. 'Atos Quantum' is the
first industry program in Europe to develop quantum computing solutions that
offer unprecedented computing power, while anticipating future cybersecurity
challenges. Held at Les Clayes-sous-Bois in the Paris region - at Atos' global
R&D headquarters dedicated to supercomputing - the members of the Scientific
Council reviewed the first achievements of the program since its launch in
November 2016.
A world-renowned Scientific Council
The 'Atos Quantum' Scientific Council is made of universally recognized quantum
physicists and mathematicians:
* Alain Aspect, professor at the Institut d'Optique Graduate School and Ecole
Polytechnique, Université Paris-Saclay;
* David DiVincenzo, Alexander von Humboldt Professor, Director of the
Institute for Quantum Information at RWTH Aachen University, Director of the
Institute for Theoretical Nanoelectronics at the Juelich Research Center;
* Artur Ekert, Professor of Quantum Physics at the Mathematical Institute,
University of Oxford; Lee Kong Chian Centennial Professor and Director,
Centre of Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore;
* Daniel Esteve, Research Director, CEA Saclay, head of Quantronics;

At the end of the 'Atos Quantum' Scientific Council meeting, Thierry Breton,
Chairman and CEO at Atos, said: "The changes that quantum physics will lead to
in the IT space will have significant effects over the coming decades, both in
terms of computing power and cybersecurity. As an industry leader in Europe,
Atos is committed today to lay the foundations for the IT of the future,
providing researchers worldwide with solutions enabling them to take advantage
of the innovative opportunities provided by quantum computing. We are proud of
the work done by our research teams, who are supported by a world-renowned
Scientific Council, which enables us to fully play our part in what is likely to
be a major evolution in our industry."
Over the coming years quantum computing will be able to respond to the data
explosion caused by Big Data and the Internet of Things. With breakthrough
targeted computing acceleration capacities, it will also help foster new
advances in deep learning, algorithmics and artificial intelligence. To continue
developments in these areas, Atos will also set up several partnerships with
universities and research centers across the globe.
