AI Meets Quantum: QuTwo's Hybrid Computing Future
13 Mar
Summary
- QuTwo OS orchestrates the shift from classical to quantum computing.
- Zalando is developing 'lifestyle agents' with QuTwo.
- The company is backed by Sarlin's family office, PostScriptum.
QuTwo, an AI lab for the quantum era, is developing QuTwo OS, an orchestration layer allowing enterprises to transition towards quantum computing, incorporating hybrid models. The company's approach bypasses the need to wait for quantum computing's full maturation.
Currently funded by Sarlin's family office, PostScriptum, QuTwo is already engaging enterprise customers. Notably, it collaborates with European fashion retailer Zalando to create 'lifestyle agents' that go beyond basic product search to proactively suggest products and experiences.
QuTwo OS is designed for flexibility, supporting both quantum and non-quantum algorithms and hardware. This strategy acknowledges that initial quantum use cases will likely involve mixed hardware environments. The company also has a joint quantum AI research initiative with Finnish financial services provider OP Pohjola.
The team behind QuTwo possesses extensive expertise in both quantum and AI domains. This includes co-founder of IQM Kuan Yen Tan and former Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark on the board. The company has secured significant design partnerships valued in the tens of millions.
