Amazon AWS and CINECA Will Collaborate on a Series of Quantum Computing Research Initiatives

CINECA is a non-profit consortium based in Bologna, Italy that is made up of 70 Italian universities, eight research institutions and the Italian Ministry of Higher Education. It hosts the  the most powerful supercomputing center for scientific research in Italy and its mission is to support the Italian scientific community through supercomputing and scientific visualization tools. Amazon AWS will work with them by supporting CINECA identified projects with AWS Cloud Credits for Research that provides credits for free time on the AWS cloud services. They will also jointly host a series of workshops to deepen the quantum expertise of the HPC research community. And Amazon will join a CINECA steering committee along with other quantum computing experts to represent the quantum computing research community in Italy and help identify cutting-edge quantum computing research projects that can leverage Amazon's Braket quantum cloud services. More information about this collaboration can be found in a blog that has been posted on the Amazon AWS Braket website.
