bp to advance use of quantum ‎computing in energy

bp has joined the IBM Quantum Network to advance the use of quantum ‎computing in the energy industry.‎‎ ‎

By joining the IBM Quantum Network™ as an Industry Partner, bp will have access to IBM’s ‎quantum expertise and software and cloud-based access to the most advanced quantum ‎computers available via the cloud. This includes access to a premium 65-qubit quantum ‎computer, the largest universal quantum system available to industry today, and an important ‎milestone on the IBM Quantum roadmap to a 1,000-plus qubit system, targeted for the end of ‎‎2023.‎


bp will work with IBM to explore using quantum computing to solve business and engineering ‎challenges and explore the potential applications for driving efficiencies and reducing carbon ‎emissions.


‎‎“bp’s ambition is to become a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and help the world get to ‎net zero. Next-generation computing capabilities such as quantum computing will assist in ‎solving the science and engineering challenges we will face, enabling us to reimagine energy ‎and design new lower carbon products,” said Morag Watson, senior vice president, digital ‎science and engineering for bp.‎‎


‎Quantum computing has the potential to be applied in areas such as: modelling the chemistry ‎and build-up of various types of clay in hydrocarbon wells – a crucial factor in efficient ‎hydrocarbon production; analyzing and managing the fluid dynamics of wind farms; optimizing ‎autonomous robotic facility inspection; and helping create opportunities not yet imagined to ‎deliver the clean energy the world wants and needs.‎‎
