Hyperion in the News

Quantum computing is as eagerly anticipated a technology as there’s ever been. The scientific and Wall Street communities, to name just two market segments, can’t wait to get their hands on quantum systems able to handle workloads beyond the reach of classical HPC. In the meantime, the technology world waits impatiently while quantum R&D proceeds.

The world of quantum computing now has another big player vying for business. Quantinuum, which launched today, is the product of a combination between Cambridge Quantum, a British company that’s a leader in quantum software and operating systems, and Honeywell Quantum Solutions (HQS), which has been carved out of U.S. parent company Honeywell and specializes in building quantum computers.

The last several years have been challenging for the oil and gas industry on nearly all fronts. Still, to keep both the upstream and downstream businesses on the cutting edge, the segment has had to keep spending mightily on supercomputing resources.

Welcome to ISC Retrospective: HPC Experts Discuss the Highpoints of ISC 2021 -- a panel discussion on the important developments, announcements and trend lines from ISC 2021. Our all-star panel: Addison Snell, CEO, Intersect360; Shahin Khan, Partner, OrionX.net; Steve Conway, Senior Adviser, HPC Market Dynamics, Hyperion.

My guest today is Bob Sorensen, senior VP of Research at Hyperion Research. Bob and I talk about what performance improvements customers expect from quantum computers, the mistakes that quantum equipment vendors might be making, and much more.

Hyperion Research delivered its annual ISC 2021 HPC market update and this year’s version comprised a 100-plus slide survey of the landscape presented by six analysts.
