$ZPTA The MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab launches to shape the future of AI and quantum computing
Building on a long-standing MIT–IBM collaboration, the new lab will chart the convergence of AI, algorithms, and quantum computing.
MIT Schwarzman College of Computing
Publication Date:April 29, 2026
The lab is designed to accelerate progress toward powerful new computational approaches that take advantage of rapid advances in AI and quantum-centric supercomputing, including those that combine maturing quantum hardware with classical systems and advanced AI methods.
In parallel, the lab will rethink the mathematical and algorithmic foundations that underpin the next era of computing by accelerating the development of novel quantum algorithms for complex problems, with impacts in areas such as materials science, chemistry, and biology.
