Room temperature quantum computer for US
Quantum Brilliance is working with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US to build a joint platform with a room temperature quantum computer and supercomputer.
A cluster of the diamond-based quantum computer systems developed by Quantum Brilliance (QB), based in Germany and Australia will be combined with the higher performance computing systems at ORNL. The lab hosts the Frontier and Summit exascale supercomputer systems and is commissioning the next generation of supercomputer systems with AI.
The team plans to co-develop new computational methods that exploit parallel and hybrid computing and new software tools that will enable users to implement those methods and develop their own.
Parallel quantum computing refers to multiple quantum processors working together to solve a problem. Hybrid quantum computing refers to both quantum and classical processors working together on a problem.
New knowledge of the hybrid computing systems is expected to enable ongoing co-design of superior computing systems, and the infrastructure tools and practical know-how to manage operations.
Quantum Brilliance is already working with the Hartree Centre in the UK and Nvidia and has installed its quantum computer in a supercomputer centre in Australia and is developing a chip-scale quantum computer using its diamond vacancy technology.

“Parallel quantum computing holds transformative potential for scientific discovery and industrial applications that require high-performance computing,” said Dr. Travis Humble, Director, Quantum Science Center at ORNL. “Partnering with Quantum Brilliance allows us to explore effective integration with our existing HPC systems, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements that will inform the design of future HPC infrastructure.”
The inclusion of quantum accelerators alongside high-powered classical computing opens the door for the discovery of solutions to certain complex problems currently unsolvable with classical computing alone.
“This collaboration represents a significant milestone in our mission to bring quantum computing to practical applications,” said Mark Luo, CEO of Quantum Brilliance. “By integrating the world’s first cluster of room-temperature QPUs with ORNL’s leading HPC infrastructure, we aim to demonstrate the benefits of parallel quantum computing. This is a critical milestone towards achieving massively parallelized quantum accelerators, which we believe will be the preferred architecture in HPC centres.”
