CQC and Total Announce Multi-year Collaboration to Develop Quantum Algorithms for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)
CAMBRIDGE, England, April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) announced today that they have entered into a 
multi-year partnership with Total S.A. to develop quantum algorithms and 
quantum computing solutions for advanced carbon capture, utilization and 
storage (CCUS) technologies. 

The collaboration will use CQC's expertise in quantum computing and quantum 
chemistry, including the utilization of CQC's industry-leading quantum 
chemistry platform "EUMEN," to support and help develop Total's CCUS R&D 
efforts.

Ilyas Khan, CEO of CQC, said: "We are very excited to be working with Total. 
This is a topic of critical importance for the future of the planet. Total has 
a proven long-term commitment to CCUS solutions, and we are confident that our 
work with them will lead to a meaningful contribution towards a cleaner and 
greener future."

The announcement caps a period of significant developments for CQC, including 
investments from IBM and Honeywell; the launch of a quantum technologies 
cybersecurity platform "IronBridge" at the recent RSA conference, partnerships 
with organizations like CERN and most recently a groundbreaking experiment that 
showed the world the first Natural Language Processing implementation on a 
quantum computer.
