NVIDIA has announced the establishment of the NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston, a facility designed to advance quantum computing architectures and algorithms. The center will integrate quantum hardware with AI supercomputers to tackle critical challenges in quantum computing, such as qubit noise mitigation and the development of scalable, practical quantum processors.
The NVAQC will utilize NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems to perform high-fidelity simulations of quantum systems and develop low-latency control algorithms necessary for quantum error correction. The center will also leverage the NVIDIA CUDA-Q™ quantum development platform to enable the creation of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, facilitating efficient integration between GPU and QPU hardware.
The center will collaborate with industry leaders, including Quantinuum, Quantum Machines, and QuEra Computing, as well as academic institutions such as the Harvard Quantum Initiative and MIT’s Engineering Quantum Systems (EQuS) group. These partnerships will focus on advancing research in quantum error correction, AI-driven quantum algorithms, and scalable quantum technologies, with the goal of accelerating the transition from experimental quantum systems to practical applications.
