OQC, JPMorganChase, and AMD Establish Quantum-AI Platform

OQC, JPMorganChase, and AMD have announced a research collaboration leveraging a new and dedicated Quantum-AI Data Centre built by OQC in London. The infrastructure allows JPMorganChase researchers to test near-term quantum and hybrid quantum-classical computing applications within a secure enterprise environment.

Context of the Cooperation
The financial services industry depends on understanding complexity, managing risk, and processing decisions with high operational speed and security. Investigating these complex financial challenges typically requires moving quantum computing out of isolated laboratory experiments into secure compute environments where enterprises actually operate.

To achieve the necessary scale, integration, and performance, the partners are combining complementary expertise. OQC supplies the quantum hardware infrastructure, JPMorganChase contributes its internal quantum research and financial use-case expertise, and AMD provides optimized classical and artificial intelligence hardware. This integrated approach is required to examine how quantum hardware, AI infrastructure, and high-performance classical computing can work together effectively.

Technical Solution and Responsibilities
The technological platform physically integrates the OQC GENESIS quantum system with AMD-supported AI and classical hardware layers. The environment incorporates high-performance computing resources and application-level tooling designed for simulation, optimization, AI model development, and benchmarking. Responsibilities are distributed among the three partners:

The system functions by enabling researchers to execute hybrid workflows and assess their performance, scalability, and reproducibility against the strict operational standards utilized in financial services. The technical scope includes conducting research on portfolio optimization, expanding explorations around quantum machine learning, and developing specialized AI models engineered to improve quantum circuit performance. Additionally, the teams will investigate how quantum-enhanced AI models can accelerate the discovery of novel algorithms for financial use cases, while analyzing the role of classical compute toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.

Deployment or Implementation
The project marks a strategic shift from experimental quantum cloud access toward secure, integrated enterprise infrastructure. JPMorganChase serves as OQC's first dedicated user of this dedicated U.K. platform. The Quantum-AI Data Centre environment is expected to become fully operational within 12 months, providing a localized, physically integrated system to run and evaluate real-world financial services workflows.
