智通财经APP获悉，IBM(IBM.US)与AMD(AMD.US)已达成合作协议，将携手开发下一代计算架构—— 该架构以量子计算与高性能计算(HPC)融合为核心，即业界所称的"量子中心化超级计算"(quantum- centric supercomputing)。 "量子计算将以全新方式模拟自然世界、表征信息，"IBM董事长兼首席执行官阿尔温德·克里希纳表 示，"通过探索IBM量子计算机与AMD先进高性能计算技术的协同路径，我们将构建一套强大的混合计 算模型，突破传统计算的性能极限。" 合作消息提振了IBM和AMD股价，两公司当日分别收涨1.34%和2%，年内累计涨幅更是高达10%和 37%。 回溯至今年6月，IBM曾展示了一条"可行路径"：计划在本十年末(2030年前)打造全球首台大规模"容 错"量子计算机。该公司称，这款名为"IBM Starling"的量子计算机，运算能力预计将达到当前量子计算 机的2万倍。 而在此之前，谷歌母公司Alphabet(GOOGL.US)已于去年年底取得突破——其发布的一款量子计算芯 片，据称能在不到5分钟内完成当前部分最快超级计算机需要10的24次方年(10 septill ...

Group 1 - IBM's stock price reached a new historical high, closing at $276.24, marking an increase of 1.5% and extending its gains to eight consecutive trading days. The stock has risen over 25% since the beginning of the year [1] - The recent surge in IBM's stock is attributed to a significant announcement regarding its advancements in quantum computing. IBM has outlined a "feasible path" to develop the world's first practical quantum computer capable of large-scale complex task processing with "fault tolerance" by the end of this century [4] - The planned quantum computer, named "IBM Starling," is expected to have a computational power 20,000 times greater than existing quantum computers, which could significantly accelerate processes and reduce costs in drug development, materials discovery, chemical simulation, and complex optimization [4] Group 2 - IBM explained the importance of "fault-tolerant" quantum computing, which can effectively suppress various errors that occur during quantum computing operations. Historically, correcting these errors has been a core challenge in engineering quantum computing [4] - To achieve the 2029 goal for the Starling project, IBM has established a detailed milestone plan, with plans to launch IBM Quantum Loon later this year to test specific architectural components, paving the way for the final fault-tolerant system [4]
