Through an agreement with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ornl.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/data-center\/dgx-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">NVIDIA DGX<\/a> system has been installed at the EPB Quantum Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The center is already home to <a href=\"https:\/\/ionq.com\/quantum-systems\/forte-enterprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">IonQ\u2019s Forte Enterprise<\/a> Quantum Computer, which is scheduled for commissioning in early 2026. This combination of classical supercomputing and quantum technology platforms within the same facility is intended to solidify EPB Quantum as a national resource for developing and commercializing applications.<\/p>\n<p>In the first use of the new hybrid computing resources, EPB and ORNL will work with NVIDIA and IonQ to explore solutions for optimizing power grids. The project will focus on minimizing electrical losses and voltage drops while balancing load to improve capacity and enhance reliability. The combination of quantum and classical resources will allow ORNL\u2019s researchers to analyze a volume of EPB\u2019s grid data. The outcomes of the project are designed to be replicable for other energy systems.<\/p>\n<p>This project builds on EPB\u2019s history of collaborating with ORNL, including the \u201cQED: Quantum Ensured Defense of the Smart Electric Grid\u201d project, which applied quantum networking to protect power grid signals. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samstanwyck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Sam Stanwyck<\/a>, Group Product Manager for quantum computing at NVIDIA, noted that the project is helping to build the future of scientific computing where businesses and researchers will draw on both quantum and classical hardware within hybrid supercomputing systems.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full announcement <a href=\"https:\/\/epb.com\/newsroom\/press-releases\/epb-quantum-adds-hybrid-computing-to-comprehensive-quantum-development-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">September 17, 2025<\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf-button-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/printfriendly-pdf-button.png\" alt=\"Print Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\" style=\"width: 112px;height: 24px;\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EPB Quantum has announced it is enhancing its quantum computing resources by adding hybrid computing capabilities.
