Quantum Brilliance forges pact with Singapore’s PTC to resell Qristal software/Nvidia DGX bundle
PTC, a Singapore-based provider of enterprise data management solutions and services to Asia, now has a quantum software reseller agreement with Quantum Brilliance, allowing the company to offer Quantum Brilliance’s Qristal Emulator bundled with high-performance Nvidia DGX systems.
The announcement coincides with Australia-based Quantum Brilliance opening an office in Singapore, where the company also plans to develop a Quantum Software Centre of Excellence.
The agreement will help PTC enable its enterprise customers to explore hybrid classical-quantum computing for enterprise AI applications, using Nvidia infrastructure at scale, to design, test and run their own quantum computing solutions locally, without the need for cloud connectivity, according to a statement. PTC was chosen in early 2022 as the first Nvidia DGX-Ready Managed Services partner in the Asia-Pacific region.
“With the new reseller agreement, PTC customers will have the opportunity to discover how hybrid classical-quantum computing can benefit their business,” said Mark Luo, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Brilliance. “Today’s announcement is a significant step towards hybrid quantum-classical technology becoming a standard feature of computing products and solutions.”
Quantum Brilliance’s Qristal software suite, which was unveiled back in March, enables R&D teams to explore integrating quantum systems in real-world applications and develop and test novel quantum algorithms specifically designed for quantum accelerators rather than quantum mainframes. Within the suite, the Qristal Emulator enables users to determine the number of qubits that will be required to outperform classical computers in hybrid classical/quantum applications in data centers, aerospace, autonomous vehicles, mobile devices and more. According to Quantum Brilliance, quantum solutions developed by customers with Qristal Emulator can be used to find new use cases where quantum hardware will deliver “quantum utility” — enhanced performance for useful tasks over classical computers of similar size, weight and power.

Nvidia’s DGX platform combines Nvidia software, infrastructure, and expertise in a modern, unified AI development solution that spans from the cloud to on-premises data centers. With the collaboration, PTC helps clients design and implement AI infrastructure solutions, and according to a statement, PTC plans to first approach the manufacturing, logistics and research sectors as they have the most compute-intensive challenges that cannot be solved with classical solutions.
“Customers across industries will benefit from Quantum Brilliance’s software for exploring how quantum computing can be used to solve the most complex problems exponentially faster than traditional computers,” said SS Lim, Managing Director at PTC. “Our in-depth experience in supercomputing, AI and data science will help customers in system design and implementation. The combined systems will allow users to discover the technology’s potential for new applications and we look forward to working with Quantum Brilliance on this collaboration.”
