AMD expands PsiQuantum partnership with planned equity investment in photonic quantum computing
sven_ai · x · 2026-11-13
AMD announced an expanded partnership with photonic quantum computing company PsiQuantum, along with a planned equity investment. The direction isn't ordinary AI models but quantum infrastructure: the two will combine AMD's CPU, GPU and software capabilities with PsiQuantum's silicon photonics technology.
The takeaway: future high-performance computing may not be GPU-dominated, but a CPU + GPU + quantum collaboration where each solves different classes of problems — though commercialization remains a long way off.
