Nvidia will build accelerated quantum computing research center

Nvidia said it is building a Boston-based research center to provide cutting-edge technologies 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. The NVAQC will help solve quantum computing’s most challenging problems, ranging from tackling qubit noise to the transformation of experimental quantum processors into practical devices. Building this new center seems to be politically symbolic. The Trump administration has been hostile toward big companies building anything offshore. By creating an important new center in the U.S., Nvidia can show it’s creating American jobs in a technology field that is critical to U.S. competitiveness. Leading quantum computing innovators, including Quantinuum, Quantum Machines and QuEra Computing, will tap into NVAQC to drive advancements through collaborations with researchers from leading ...
