IT major Infosys has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon's cloud division, to develop quantum computing capabilities and investigate potential applications.

The IT major plans on deploying Amazon Braket, a fully managed quantum computing service designed to help speed up scientific research and software development for quantum computing, as part of the strategic collaboration to explore and build multiple use cases in quantum computing as part of Infosys Cobalt cloud offerings.

With Amazon Braket IT major is said to design, test, and evaluate quantum applications using circuit simulators and quantum hardware technologies, allowing researchers and developers to experiment with and explore challenging computational issues.

"We regard this partnership as a critical step in setting the right expectations with customers when discussing business problems where quantum computing may play a role”, says Matt Garman, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Amazon Web Services, Inc.

However, there is another partnership that involves exploring the quantum computing world and that is the partnership between HCL Technologies and T-Hub which plan to explore deep tech as well.

T-Hub is considering adding the HCL Technologies' eSTiP Open Innovation Program to select startups. The initiative promotes co-creation through an open innovation paradigm and is administered by the company's Enterprise Technology Office (ETO), with the goal of inventing and enforcing cooperation across various stakeholders. This is accomplished through a systematic and scaled method to managing ideas, prototyping, deployment, and commercialization.

As the next generation of technologies, especially Quantum Computing, matures and becomes commercially viable, HCL Technologies expects its relationship with T-Hub to deliver insights into major startups, academics, business collaborators, and other innovation ecosystem participants.

Despite the fact that quantum computing has yet to realize its full potential, companies are already working on its platform and making significant investments.

Back to Infosys and AWS’ collaboration, the IT major believes that enterprises will have access to use cases for quick experimentation and will be able to examine how quantum computing could help them in the future in a range of domains, evaluate new ideas, and create adoption strategies to promote innovation.

Meaning, the IT major hopes to make businesses future ready with the help of Amazon Braket where quantum computing will impact businesses.

"We regard this partnership as a critical step in setting the right expectations with customers when discussing business problems where quantum computing may play a role”, says Matt Garman, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Amazon Web Services, Inc.
