nvidia unveils quantum research center to advance quantum computing

In a strategic move that could reshape the future of computing, Nvidia is establishing the Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston, where the worlds of quantum hardware and AI supercomputing will converge... The initiative represents one of the most significant corporate investments in quantum computing to date, potentially accelerating the timeline to practical, real-world quantum applications. “Quantum computing will augment AI supercomputers to tackle some of the world’s most important problems, from drug discovery to materials development,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in a statement. “Working with the wider quantum research community to advance CUDA-quantum hybrid computing, the Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center is where breakthroughs will be made to create large-scale, useful, accelerated quantum supercomputers.” Notably, the announcement marks a significant shift in Nvidia’s quantum computing outlook. Just months ago, in January, Huang stated that useful quantum computers were likely 20 years away.

At Thursday’s announcement at GTC2025 – the company’s annual software developer conference, Huang appeared to revise that timeline, joking to an audience that included executives from quantum computing firms: “This is the first event... This rapid strategic pivot underscores how quickly technological landscapes can shift, forcing even industry leaders to accelerate their timelines and adapt their approaches to emerging technologies. 12:04 pm UTC March 22, 2025 Mar 22, 2025 | by: NVIDIA | Electrical engineering The newly launched NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston provides cutting-edge tools aimed at overcoming the most significant hurdles in quantum computing.

Quantum computing is steadily advancing, and its integration with AI supercomputers will pave the way for quantum-accelerated systems capable of solving some of the world's most complex challenges. A key step towards achieving this future is incorporating quantum processing units (QPUs) into AI supercomputing systems to drive innovation in quantum error correction, hardware development, and control systems. GTC Nvidia is investing in a research center to advance quantum computing development, just weeks after its head honcho torpedoed the share price of quantum firms by declaring the tech is decades away from... The California-based GPU biz announced at its GTC 2025 event in San Jose that it is building a research center on the opposite coast in Boston to develop cutting-edge technologies aimed at advancing quantum... Named the Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC), it will focus on combining quantum tech with the company's AI hardware to develop what it calls "accelerated quantum supercomputers" capable of solving some of the... We asked Nvidia how much it is investing in this venture, and it declined to add anything beyond the details in its announcement.

The GPU giant is not short of spare change, having reported 2025 net income of $72.88 billion last month, up 145 percent year-on-year. Nevertheless, the AI chips maker can't be expecting to see a return on its quantum investment in the near future: CEO Jensen Huang famously remarked that practical quantum systems are likely still 20 years... Building on the success of NVIDIA DGX Quantum, a reference architecture for tightly integrating quantum and classical hardware jointly developed by NVIDIA and Quantum Machines, the companies will further accelerate quantum-classical innovation at the... TEL AVIV, Israel, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Machines (QM), a leading provider of advanced quantum control solutions, today announced its intention to work with NVIDIA at its newly established NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum... The Boston-based center aims to advance quantum computing research with accelerated computing, including integrating quantum processors with AI- supercomputing to overcome significant challenges in the quantum computing space. As quantum computing rapidly evolves, the integration of quantum processors with powerful AI supercomputers becomes increasingly essential.

These accelerated quantum supercomputers are pivotal for advancing quantum error correction, device control, and algorithm development. Quantum Machines joins other quantum computing pioneers, including Quantinuum and QuEra, along with academic partners from Harvard and MIT, in working with NVIDIA at the NVAQC to develop pioneering research. Quantum Machines will work with NVIDIA to integrate its NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips with QM's advanced quantum control technologies, including the OPX1000. This integration will facilitate rapid, high-bandwidth communication between quantum processors and classical supercomputers. QM and NVIDIA thereby lay the essential foundations for quantum error correction and robust quantum algorithm execution. By reducing latency and enhancing processing efficiency, QM and NVIDIA solutions will significantly accelerate practical applications of quantum computing.

"The next wave of breakthroughs in quantum computing will be fueled by accelerated computing," said Tim Costa, senior director of CAE, Quantum, and CUDA-X at NVIDIA. "This means providing seamless, low-latency and high throughput integrations of quantum and classical hardware, which our work with Quantum Machines at the NVAQC will continue to develop." Nvidia is building a research center in Boston to provide cutting-edge technologies to advance quantum computing in collaboration with leading researchers, the tech giant announced. The Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center, or NVAQC, will integrate leading quantum hardware with AI supercomputers, enabling what is known as accelerated quantum supercomputing. The NVAQC will help solve quantum computing’s most challenging problems, ranging from qubit noise to transforming experimental quantum processors into practical devices, Nvidia said in a media release. Leading quantum computing innovators, including Quantinuum, Quantum Machines and QuEra Computing, will tap into the NVAQC to drive advancements through collaborations with researchers from leading universities, such as the Harvard Quantum Initiative in Science...

“Quantum computing will augment AI supercomputers to tackle some of the world’s most important problems, from drug discovery to materials development,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “Working with the wider quantum research community to advance CUDA-quantum hybrid computing, the Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center is where breakthroughs will be made to create large-scale, useful, accelerated quantum supercomputers.” Visit your regional NVIDIA website for local content, pricing, and where to buy partners specific to your country.
