IBM and ETH Zurich announce partnership on AI and quantum algorithms
Both organisations believe algorithms will define the next computing revolution as quantum and AI technologies mature.
International Business Machines Corporation and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich have announced a decade-long partnership to develop algorithms that bridge classical computing, machine learning, and quantum systems.
The collaboration will focus on creating foundational algorithms to address complex business and scientific challenges as quantum computing becomes increasingly practical. IBM will support the establishment of new professorships and research initiatives at the institution.
The partnership will concentrate on four key areas: optimisation, differential equations, linear algebra and complex system modelling, strengthening the mathematical foundations required for AI and quantum progress.
This represents a significant commitment to shaping the algorithmic future of computing. Both institutions believe that algorithms, rather than hardware or software alone, will define the next computing revolution as quantum and AI technologies converge in Zurich.
