Core Viewpoint - NVIDIA has introduced NVQLink™, an open system architecture designed to integrate GPU computing with quantum processors, aiming to create accelerated quantum supercomputers [1][14]. Group 1: NVQLink Overview - NVQLink is developed with guidance from leading supercomputing centers and national laboratories, supporting 17 quantum processing unit (QPU) builders, five controller builders, and nine U.S. national labs [2]. - The architecture facilitates a low-latency, high-throughput connection necessary for running complex algorithms that manage qubit errors, essential for effective quantum applications [4][15]. Group 2: Industry Impact - Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, stated that every NVIDIA GPU scientific supercomputer will soon be hybrid, tightly coupled with quantum processors, marking the beginning of the quantum-GPU computing era [5]. - U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright emphasized that maintaining leadership in high-performance computing requires bridging to accelerated quantum supercomputing, with NVQLink being a critical technology for this transition [6]. Group 3: Collaboration and Development - NVQLink is supported by contributions from various quantum hardware builders and control system providers, establishing a foundation for advancements in control, calibration, and quantum error correction [7][9]. - Researchers can access NVQLink through integration with the NVIDIA CUDA-Q™ software platform, enabling the development of applications that utilize both classical and quantum computing resources [8].
