TCS' quantum computing services on AWS

Overview

Quantum computing – driving business innovations and growth using cloud.

Thought quantum computing would be in the distant future? Think again. A steady increase in investments, number of startups, venture capitalist (VC) funding, and patent filings in the area of quantum computing all point to the fact that the technology is well on its way to becoming mainstream in the next few years.  Considering the rate at which the technology is evolving, now is the right time for businesses to start experimenting with quantum computing to understand potential opportunities and threats for their businesses. 

At TCS, we are working on novel quantum algorithms for diverse use cases across quantum optimization, machine learning,  chemistry simulations, and  security.   We are also working on developing assets that could help accelerate and manage experimentation, benchmarking, and development of quantum algorithms.   

The TCS Quantum Computing Lab on AWS leverages Amazon Braket, a fully managed quantum computing service from AWS, to design industry-leading solutions, build domain-centric performance benchmarks, and drive hackathons.

Solution

TCS’ framework for enterprises to get started on their quantum computing journey.

As quantum computing is still evolving, a prudent approach for most organizations would be to defer decisions related to big investments in specific technology stacks, and instead focus on identifying the right use cases to invest in. TCS' Quantum Value Discovery framework can help. The framework covers four stages of experimenting with quantum computing—evangelize, analyze, co-innovate, and showcase and scale.  The framework aims to provide our customers a low-cost and low-risk model to get started and progress on their quantum computing journey by: 

• Seeding initial capabilities. 

• Helping customers explore opportunities and threats in their business context and charting a roadmap to be ready for the future as the technology matures. 

• Collaborating to build early prototypes and proofs of technology (PoT) to validate the promise of quantum computing in their business.  

• Scaling the PoTs to proof of concepts as the technology matures, to get to eventual business value. 

TCS Quantum Computing Lab on AWS provides the quantum computing infrastructure to support the value discovery process. It helps enterprises explore, develop, and test quantum computing-powered business solutions at speed using reusable artifacts like algorithms, interactive simulator and knowledge management. At our lab, clients can experiment and see for themselves how quantum computing use cases such as image anomaly detection, truck load optimization, route optimization, time series forecasting, portfolio optimization, and more can make a difference for their business.

Benefits

Discover the quantum value for your business.

Through pilots conducted jointly with AWS and our clients within the TCS value discovery framework, we help businesses find the value in quantum computing. We help:

• Make stakeholders sufficiently aware, engaged and informed to take decisions about quantum computing in their respective domains. 

• Enable faster development and the realization of applications through competition and collaborative environment.

• Build and sustain a quantum-ready workforce.  

• Promote set standards and road-mapping mechanisms to accelerate the development of the technology. 

• Develop a sustainable future with and for quantum computing technology.
