Set to become operations in late 2025, NVIDIA’s quantum research centre in Boston will blend quantum hardware with AI to tackle key challenges and advance quantum supercomputing.
NVIDIA has announced the construction of a new research facility in Boston aimed at advancing quantum computing technologies. The NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) will combine quantum hardware with AI supercomputers.
This initiative aims to tackle some of the most complex challenges in quantum computing, such as qubit noise and the transition of experimental processors into practical devices.
The NVAQC will collaborate with quantum computing companies, including Quantinuum, Quantum Machines, and QuEra Computing, as well as top academic institutions such as the Harvard Quantum Initiative and MIT’s Engineering Quantum Systems group.
This collaboration is set to drive forward the development of hybrid quantum algorithms and other breakthroughs that will bring large-scale quantum supercomputers closer to reality.
The NVAQC will also leverage NVIDIA’s powerful GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems, enabling advanced quantum simulations and the development of low-latency quantum error correction algorithms.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, highlighted that the centre will play a crucial role in using quantum computing to enhance AI supercomputers, which could address global challenges like drug discovery and materials science.
Furthermore, the research centre will provide resources to both commercial and academic partners, allowing them to explore the integration of GPU and QPU hardware through the NVIDIA CUDA-Q quantum development platform. It is slated to begin operations later this year.
