LTM's AI-QEM Becomes First Global Systems Integrator Function in IBM Quantum Catalog

LTM announced on November 12, 2026 that its AI-powered Quantum Error Mitigation capability, AI-QEM, is available in the IBM Quantum Functions Catalog, making it the first Global Systems Integrator to publish a function there. ScanX reported the announcement.

How AI-QEM Works Inside IBM's Catalog

The IBM Quantum Functions Catalog hosts partner-built quantum software services designed to simplify workflows for researchers and enterprises. AI-QEM is integrated as a circuit function, allowing users with eligible IBM Quantum access plans to apply error mitigation directly within their Qiskit workflows. LTM said the integration aims to reduce the cost and complexity of running useful quantum experiments.

Quantum computers are inherently susceptible to noise, which can affect computational outcomes. Traditional error mitigation techniques often require additional circuit executions, increased quantum processing time, or auxiliary qubits. AI-QEM uses AI models to learn and correct device-specific error patterns through classical post-processing, supporting improved result accuracy without additional QPU time, repeated circuit executions, or extra qubits. The capability has been validated on IBM Quantum computers across various circuit sizes and complexities, including experiments involving more than 100 qubits.

Scott Crowder, Vice President, IBM Quantum Adoption and Business Development, said the availability of AI-QEM reflects the growing role of ecosystem partners in expanding tools for the quantum community. He noted that the function allows users to mitigate errors faster and with fewer resources while developing algorithms and applications.

LTM's Quantum Work Across Insurers and Banks

LTM's current initiatives include quantum optimization solutions for a leading global insurer, hybrid quantum machine learning for critical infrastructure operations, and quantum-safe security programs for financial services and insurance organizations preparing for post-quantum cryptography migration.

Earlier LTM Moves in AI and Partnerships

LTM launched GCC Origin, a standalone business unit for Global Capability Centers in India led by Shailendra Singh under CEO Venu Lambu, ScanX reported in October 2026, according to akta.pro company records. The unit is powered by BlueVerse and offers more than 300 pre-built AI agents, with services from site selection to turnkey facilities.

In November 2026, SonarQube and LTM partnered to integrate AI code verification into enterprise development, with LTM serving over 260 clients including 26 Fortune 500 companies, Security Boulevard reported. SonarQube's Vortex capability reduced token consumption by up to 36% in testing with a coding agent.

LTM and ServiceNow also announced an expanded partnership to scale agentic AI, combining ServiceNow's AI Platform with LTM's transformation expertise, FinancialContent Business Page reported in November 2026. LTM has deployed 1,500 ServiceNow AI agents and expects up to 80% improvement in AI asset management.
