Azure Quantum
Elements is a system that boosts productivity for chemistry and materials science R&D. Researchers
and product developers can screen candidates, study mechanisms, and design molecules and materials through
state-of-the art computing capabilities and enterprise-grade services. Azure Quantum Elements includes
simulation workflows optimized for scaling on Azure HPC clusters, AI-accelerated computing, augmented
reasoning using AI, integration with quantum tools to start experimenting with existing quantum hardware,
and access in the future to Microsoft’s quantum supercomputer. With Azure Quantum Elements customers will be
able to:
-
Accelerate time to impact, with some customers seeing a six-month to one-week speedup from project
kick-off to solution.1
-
Explore more materials, with the potential to scale from thousands of candidates to tens of
millions.2
-
Speed up certain chemistry simulations by 500,000 times, effectively compressing nearly one year of
research into one minute.3
- Improve productivity with Copilot in Azure Quantum Elements to query and visualize data, write code,
and initiate simulations.
- Get ready for quantum computing by addressing quantum chemistry problems today with AI & HPC,
while experimenting with existing quantum hardware and getting priority access to Microsoft’s quantum
supercomputer in the future.
- Save time and money by accelerating R&D pipeline and bringing innovative products to market more
quickly.
