BENGALURU, India, September 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -

    Infosys Cobalt and Amazon Braket will enable businesses to begin exploring 
the potential of quantum computing

    Infosys [https://www.infosys.com/](NSE, BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader 
in next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced a strategic 
collaboration with Amazon Web Services [https://aws.amazon.com/](AWS) to 
develop quantum computing capabilities and use cases. Infosys will use Amazon 
Braket to explore and build multiple use cases in quantum computing as part of 
Infosys Cobalt [https://www.infosys.com/services/cloud-cobalt.html] cloud 
offerings. Amazon Braket is a fully managed quantum computing service that 
helps scientists and developers get started with the technology and accelerate 
research and discovery.

    Infosys will look to build, test, and evaluate quantum applications on 
circuit simulators and quantum hardware technologies using Amazon Braket. This 
will enable researchers and developers to experiment and study complex 
computational problems as quantum technologies continue to evolve. Enterprises 
will get access to use cases for rapid experimentation and can explore how 
quantum computing can potentially help them in the future in a variety of 
areas, assess new ideas and plan adoption strategies to drive innovation. The 
use of Amazon Braket by Infosys aims at getting businesses ready for a future 
where quantum computers will impact business.

    The Infosys Center for Emerging Technology Solutions 
[https://www.infosys.com/services/incubating-emerging-technologies.html](iCETS),
 which focuses on the incubation of next-generation services and offerings, is 
using Amazon Braket to develop quantum computing use cases in vehicle route 
optimization, fraud detection, and more. Infosys is also exploring partnership 
opportunities with startups in the quantum computing space through the Infosys 
Innovation Network (IIN). This collaboration further bolsters Infosys Cobalt, a 
set of services, solutions, and platforms for enterprises to accelerate their 
cloud journey. It offers 14,000 cloud assets and over 200 industry cloud 
solution blueprints. 

    Ravi Kumar S, President, Infosys, said, “Infosys continues to be at the 
forefront of exploring and bringing new technologies to clients. Through our 
use of AWS in this space, we are bringing together the power of Amazon Braket

variety of use cases from the logistics, finance, energy, and telecom sectors 
that can help clients evaluate future benefits and value that quantum computing

various complex computational challenges with Infosys Cobalt and Amazon Braket.”

    Matt Garman, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Amazon Web

number of businesses around the world are asking about its timeline and the 
opportunities that it could open. At this stage, it’s important to be aware and 
evaluate the potential future impact of quantum computing. Infosys, a
