Quantum Brilliance, a leader in room-temperature diamond quantum computing, and Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre have developed a hybrid quantum-classical workflow that integrates GPU, CPU, and quantum processing units (QPUs). Powered by NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, the workflow enables seamless communication between virtual and physical quantum computers, simplifying integration with high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This breakthrough demonstrates a practical path toward real-world quantum computing applications, including radio astronomy, AI, and bioinformatics.
The workflow leverages Quantum Brilliance’s virtual Quantum Processing Unit (vQPU), which emulates the behavior of physical quantum processors with tens of qubits. The vQPU, combined with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing, provides scalable, high-performance quantum simulations with realistic noise modeling. This hardware-agnostic approach allows researchers to test quantum algorithms under conditions that mimic real-world quantum hardware constraints, accelerating the exploration of quantum-enhanced solutions.
The collaboration positions Australia at the forefront of quantum and supercomputing convergence, strengthening national infrastructure and quantum technology leadership. The next phase involves deploying the workflow on Pawsey’s Setonix supercomputer using a physical quantum computer, further advancing the integration of quantum and classical computing resources.
