Nvidia powers world’s largest quantum research supercomputer

Nvidia announced the opening of the Global Research and Development Center for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT), which hosts ABCI-Q — the world’s largest research supercomputer dedicated to quantum computing. Quantum processors promise to augment AI supercomputers in solving some of the world’s most complex challenges, spanning industries including healthcare, energy and finance. By enabling quantum-GPU computing at an unprecedented scale, ABCI-Q marks a profound leap toward realizing practical, accelerated quantum systems, Nvidia said. Delivered by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the ABCI-Q supercomputer features 2,020 Nvidia H100 graphics processing units (GPUs) interconnected by the Nvidia Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking platform. The system is integrated with Nvidia CUDA-Q, an open-source hybrid computing platform for orchestrating the hardware and software needed to run useful, massive-scale quantum computing applicatio ...
