Vertical Search. Ai.Eni SPA and startup ITQuanta have agreed to form a joint venture (JV) to develop an integrated hardware and software quantum computing system that would improve how energy systems work–from production to market trading, according to Rigzone Editor Jov Onsat in July 16 article.
The end product, a full-stack quantum computing machine, would be “capable of solving complex problems (mathematical optimization, modeling and simulation, artificial intelligence) and initiating specific and significant quantum computing applications to support the energy transition”, Eni said in a statement. The JV is called Eniquantic.
Eni S.p.A., acronym for Ente nazionale idrocarburi, is an Italian multinational energy company headquartered in Rome. It is considered one of the “supermajor” oil companies in the world, with a market capitalization of €50 billion, as of 31 December 2023.
Eni will initially own 94 percent of Eniquantic’s shares, the remaining six percent by ITQuanta. Prof. Massimo Inguscio of ITQuanta has been appointed chair of Eniquantic. Eni’s Dario Pagani has been named chief executive.
