Building the Future of Computing: HPE and Qblox’s Strategic Partnership for Scalable Hybrid Quantum-HPC Testbeds
Overview
In June 2026, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Qblox announced a strategic partnership to develop integrated testbeds for hybrid quantum computing. This collaboration marks a major step as quantum technology moves from isolated labs to environments that combine high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). The main goal is to create robust hybrid classical-quantum systems designed for large-scale scientific and industrial applications. Qblox contributes its expertise in scalable quantum control, supporting the growing complexity and integration of quantum and classical systems. Together, HPE and Qblox are paving the way for practical, real-world quantum computing solutions.
