Nvidia has announced plans for a new, Boston-based Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center or NVAQC, designed to integrate quantum hardware with AI supercomputers. The Center will begin operations later this year, and will focus on accelerating the transition from experimental to practical quantum computing.
The key will be rapid adoption by developers and users of a wide variety of scientific and commercial AI applications . Combining quantum computing and AI promises to improve AI processes and practices and, at the same time, escalate the development of practical applications of quantum computing. The focus of the new Boston research center is on “using AI to make quantum computers more useful and more capable,” saidTim Costa is senior director of CAE, quantum and CUDA-X at NVIDIA, where he’s responsible for the acceleration of computational sciences and engineering “Today’s quantum computers are fifty to a hundred qubits. It’s generally accepted now that truly useful quantum computing will come with a million qubits or more that are error corrected down to tens to hundreds of thousands of error-free or logical qubits. That process of error correction is a big compute problem that has to be done in real time. We believe that the methods that will make that successful at scale will be AI methods.”
Researchers from the Harvard Quantum Initiative in Science and Engineering and the Engineering Quantum Systems group at MIT will test and refine these error correction AI models at the NVAQC. Other collaborators include quantum startups Quantinuum, Quantum Machines, and QuEra Computing. They will be joined by Nvidia’s quantum error correction research team and Nvidia’s most advanced supercomputer.
