On Wednesday, Infosys unveiled a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance quantum computing capabilities and applications. This collaboration involves leveraging Amazon Braket within Infosys Cobalt cloud offerings to explore and construct various quantum computing use cases.
Amazon Braket, a fully managed quantum computing service, facilitates scientists and developers in initiating quantum technology endeavors, thereby accelerating research and discovery, according to a statement from Infosys, headquartered in Bengaluru. The company aims to build, test, and assess quantum applications using circuit simulators and quantum hardware technologies through Amazon Braket.
The statement highlighted that this collaboration will empower researchers and developers to experiment with and examine intricate computational problems as quantum technologies progress. Enterprises are expected to gain access to use cases for swift experimentation, enabling them to explore the potential impact of quantum computing in diverse areas, fostering innovation, and devising adoption strategies for the future.
The adoption of Amazon Braket by Infosys is positioned to prepare businesses for a future where quantum computers are anticipated to influence various aspects of business operations. Infosys’ Center for Emerging Technology Solutions (iCETS), focusing on incubating next-generation services, is actively utilizing Amazon Braket to devise quantum computing use cases, including applications in vehicle route optimization and fraud detection.
Additionally, Infosys is exploring collaborative opportunities with startups specializing in quantum computing through the Infosys Innovation Network (IIN).
