The computer aims to help accelerate biomedical discoveries and is the first deployment of an onsite private sector IBM-managed quantum computer in the U.S.
Cleveland Clinic on Monday unveiled a quantum computer dedicated to health care research at its Cleveland campus. It's the first such onsite private sector IBM-managed quantum computer in the computer, the hospital said in a media release.
Through their 10-year Discovery Accelerator partnership, Cleveland Clinic and IBM have unveiled the IBM-managed quantum computer, billed as the first of its kind in the world dedicated to health care research.
The gift, announced last week and made in the name of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak to accelerate research in cancer and pathogens, will support research facilities in Cleveland and Port St. Lucie, Florida, as well as a new endowed chair for research in cancer immunotherapy.
Cleveland Clinic and IBM have started development of an IBM-managed quantum computer that will open next year on the Clinic's main campus. Plus, a Clinic executive departs for a new role, and CareSource awards a grant to B. Riley House, an LGBTQ+ drug and alcohol treatment facility.
