Many people are talking about the use and purpose of quantum computing of late, so we wanted to take an opportunity to talk about what Red Hat is doing around quantum computing. This first post will give an overview of a few of Red Hat’s activities with quantum computing, beginning with some background.

The Emerging Technology team in Red Hat’s Office of the CTO have formulated our general goal to define how the classical and the quantum spaces can be connected together. Broadly speaking, our goal is to use the OpenShift Container Platform to run and manage both classical as well as quantum applications, in essence running hybrid workloads in an open hybrid cloud.
