Beyond AI: How Nvidia is helping scale quantum computing

Join leaders in Boston on March 27 for an exclusive night of networking, insights, and conversation. Request an invite here.

Quantum is set to be the next frontier of computing. But it is an immense undertaking that has yet to be fully realized; researchers continue to face challenges in a multitude of areas — including error correction, scalability, cost and hardware and software complex and capable enough to handle extremely high-performance simulations. 

To support and accelerate scientific exploration into this next phase of computing, Nvidia today launched Quantum Cloud, which allows users to build and test new quantum apps and algorithms in the cloud. 

The microservice is based on Nvidia’s open-source CUDA-Q quantum computing platform, which the company says is used by three-quarters of the companies deploying quantum processing units (QPUs). 

“Quantum computing presents the next revolutionary frontier of computing,” said Tim Costa, Nvidia’s director of HPC and quantum computing. “It’s going to require the world’s most brilliant minds to bring this future one step closer.”

Breaking down barriers to quantum

The new Nvidia Quantum Cloud is intended to “accelerate scientific exploration,” the company says. Its capabilities include: 

The Generative Quantum Eigensolver, developed in a collaboration with the University of Toronto. This technology leverages large language models (LLMs) to enable quantum computers to more quickly discover the ground-state energy of a molecule (that is, the most stable configuration). 

QC Ware Promethium, which tackles complex quantum chemistry problems such as molecular simulation.

The integration of Classiq with CUDA-Q, which helps quantum researchers generate large programs and analyze and execute quantum circuits.

Nvidia Quantum Cloud intends to “break down the barriers to explore this transformative technology,” said Costa. The goal is to help “every scientist in the world harness the power of quantum computing and bring their ideas closer to reality.”

Nvidia’s quantum ecosystem

Nvidia says it has 160 partners in quantum computing and many top tech companies and quantum companies are incorporating Quantum Cloud into their services — including Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, IonQ, IQM Quantum Computers, OQC, ORCA Computing, qBraid and Quantinuum.

At HSBC, for instance, researchers designed a quantum machine learning (ML) application that can detect digital payment fraud. This simulated a “whopping” 165 qubits on Nvidia GPUs …
