## Summary

IBM, AMD, and the Quantum Science Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory unveiled a co-design platform that places quantum computers next to classical HPC systems. The platform is housed at IBM's Poughkeepsie facility and includes IBM's 120-qubit Nighthawk r2 chip and Oak Ridge's Umbra system, which uses AMD EPYC 9005 CPUs and Instinct MI355X GPUs. IBM says it aims to help researchers test error correction methods, including the hierarchical approach.
