IBM Deploys First Quantum Computer Dedicated to Healthcare Research
IBM has announced the deployment of an onsite, IBM-managed quantum computer in the United States. "The IBM Quantum System One installed at Cleveland Clinic will be the first quantum computer in the world to be uniquely dedicated to healthcare research with an aim to help Cleveland Clinic accelerate biomedical discoveries," according to the announcement.
The Cleveland Clinic-IBM Discovery Accelerator, which is part of a 10-year partnership between the companies, has already generated projects leveraging quantum computing, AI, and hybrid cloud that are aimed at advancing the pace of discovery in healthcare and life sciences, says the announcement.
"Quantum and other advanced computing technologies will help researchers tackle historic scientific bottlenecks and potentially find new treatments for patients with diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes," says Tom Mihaljevic, CEO and President of Cleveland Clinic.
