Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is launching the TCS Quantum Computing Lab on Amazon Web Services (AWS), to empower enterprise quantum projects
The new innovation hub, which is set to be announced during AWS‘s re:Invent conference, will provide enterprises with a testbed to explore, develop, and test business solutions and accelerate the adoption of quantum computing.
Utilising the quantum service Amazon Braket, TCS plans to leverage the lab to design new solutions, build performance benchmarks around the emerging technology, and facilitate hackathons for security research and development.
While collaborating with startups and scaleups across the tech industry, as well as academia, TCS has been investing in quantum computing research for over four years, filing two patents.
