\nMarks a Major Milestone in Hybrid Quantum\u2013AI Deployment for Industrial Applications<\/i><\/p>
LONDON & AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AI<\/a>--ORCA Computing<\/a> a leading quantum computing company today announced the successful deployment of its PT Series photonic quantum computer to a major enterprise customer in Japan, supported by strategic partner Toyota Tsusho Corporation<\/a>.<\/p> \nDeployed in less than one week within a live enterprise environment, the system will advance hybrid quantum\u2013AI applications across advanced science and engineering, logistics, manufacturing, optimization and generative AI workloads in the manufacturing sectors. This marks a major milestone in the ORCA and Toyota Tsusho partnership and the first installation and operation of an ORCA photonic quantum system within a private-sector enterprise.<\/p> \nThe quantum computing capabilities of the ORCA PT-2 system will be integrated into the cloud services which support global operations. By integrating directly into its production infrastructure, the enterprise customer is bringing photonic quantum computing into the enterprise IT stack, enabling hybrid quantum\u2013AI workflows alongside existing high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Later this year, the system will be upgraded to ORCA\u2019s next-generation PT-3 platform, delivering increased processing capability and deeper integration with classical compute environments.<\/p> \n\u201cToyota Tsusho is proud to support the introduction of this quantum computing capability into the Japanese enterprise market,\u201d said Mr. Norihito Ohigashi, the manager of Digital Infrastructure Department at Toyota Tsusho. \u201cThis collaboration reflects our commitment to enabling advanced technologies that will help shape the future of manufacturing, and intelligent infrastructure.\u201d<\/p> \n\u201cThis endeavor demonstrates how quickly quantum computing can move from concept to real-world operation,\u201d said Richard Murray, PhD, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of ORCA Computing. \u201cInstalling ORCA\u2019s PT-2 quantum system within an enterprise environment in under one week highlights the maturity of ORCA\u2019s photonic quantum technology. Together with Toyota Tsusho, we are laying the foundation for commercial quantum advantage in industrial AI applications.\u201d<\/p> \nThis announcement builds on ORCA Computing\u2019s progress in delivering data-center-ready quantum systems and advancing hybrid quantum\u2013classical integration across generative AI and enterprise environments.<\/p> \nAbout ORCA Computing<\/b><\/p> \nORCA Computing, headquartered in London, UK, with offices in the United States, is a leading developer and provider of full-stack photonic quantum computing systems.
