Chipmaker NVIDIA announced it will build a Boston-based research center to advance quantum computing. The NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center, or NVAQC, will integrate leading quantum hardware with AI supercomputers, enabling what is known as accelerated quantum supercomputing, according to the Santa Clara, CA-based company.
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 and Engineering and the Engineering Quantum Systems group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
“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,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
The NVAQC is expected to begin operations later this year. It’s not yet clear where it will be located.
