A pioneering project for energy efficiency
The “Optimization of Energy for Quantum Circuits” (OECQ) project brings together experts from Alice & Bob, Quandela, CNRS and EDF. They aim to improve the energy efficiency of quantum computers. This unique collaboration seeks to reduce energy barriers, thus enabling a broader expansion of this technology.
The first results of the study will focus on comparing the performance of quantum computers with traditional high-performance systems. This analysis will serve as a basis for identifying potential areas of improvement, a crucial aspect for guiding future developments.

Energy challenges remain significant
Despite significant progress, energy consumption remains a barrier to the large-scale deployment of quantum technologies. Jeremy Stevens of Alice & Bob indicates that the energy requirements of quantum computers could be comparable to those of current supercomputers. These requirements pose major challenges for sustainable integration into industries.
Current research, however, shows that for some specific problems, quantum computers could be more energy efficient. This prospect opens up promising possibilities, especially for applications that remain insoluble by conventional means.
Optimizing QPU energy consumption
The second phase of the OECQ project will focus on the energy optimization of quantum processing units (QPUs). The goal is to reduce the energy required not only for QPUs but also for auxiliary technologies. This approach aims to develop greener and more cost-effective quantum systems.
