HPE expands quantum partnerships with eight technology companies to build hybrid quantum-supercomputing platforms

Type: Partnership · Technology: Data Center · Country: United States · Announced: 2026-06-15

Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a partnership with eight quantum technology firms—Intel, IQM, Qblox, Quantinuum, QuEra Computing, Quantum Machines, Rigetti, and Riverlane—on June 15, 2026 at its Discover 2026 event. The collaboration will focus on creating integrated testbeds for hybrid algorithms, software interoperability, and benchmarking workloads that span high‑performance computing, AI, and quantum environments. HPE will leverage its Cray supercomputing platform and interconnect technologies to support these hybrid architectures, while the partners contribute diverse quantum hardware approaches such as neutral‑atom, ion‑trap, superconducting, and silicon‑spin qubits. The deal positions HPE as a bridge between classical data‑center infrastructure and emerging quantum processors, aiming to accelerate the transition of quantum computing from research to real‑world applications. No financial terms were disclosed, and the partnership is presented as a strategic move to broaden HPE’s compute ecosystem.
