Summary

  • San Jose-based Nvidia is establishing an Accelerated Quantum Research Centre in Boston, which will combine quantum hardware with AI supercomputers to help solve the biggest problems facing quantum computing.
  • Among those will be applying AI algorithms to quantum computing research, and developing new hybrid quantum algorithms and applications via the Nvidia CUDA-Q quantum development platform.
  • Leading quantum computing innovators including Quantinuum, Quantum Machines and QuEra Computing will collaborate at the centre with researchers from Harvard and MIT.
  • The Trump administration has been vocally against big tech companies building outside of the US, so the centre is a politically symbolic as well as a practical move for Nvidia.
