Overview

What Is Accelerated Quantum Supercomputing?

Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) implement a new model of computing with potential impact across industries. Turning QPUs into useful quantum computers means integrating them with state-of-the-art AI supercomputers. NVIDIA is working with QPU developers to build such useful, accelerated quantum supercomputers.

NVIDIA Announces NVQLink to Launch Era of Quantum-GPU Computing

NVIDIA has developed a high-speed GPU-QPU interconnect in collaboration with Argonne, Brookhaven, Fermi, Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, Sandia National Laboratories, and other industry leaders. NVQLink allows the integration of quantum processors with AI supercomputing for tackling challenges like quantum error correction.

World’s Leading Supercomputing Centers Adopt NVIDIA NVQLink to Integrate Quantum Processors

Accelerating Quantum Computing

NVIDIA NVQLink

NVQLink is an open architecture for integrating all quantum processor modalities with AI supercomputing. NVQLink brings low-latency, high-throughput, GPU-accelerated QEC performance to all quantum hardware. NVQLink provides the missing puzzle piece for QPU builders, quantum controller vendors, and supercomputing centers to work together to scale quantum computers to hybrid, utility-scale applications.

NVIDIA CUDA-QX

Quantum researchers and developers across a wide range of domains, from quantum error correction to hybrid solvers, use GPU programming to accelerate their applications. This demands highly optimized, domain-specific libraries. NVIDIA CUDA-QX, built on top of NVIDIA CUDA-Q™, is a collection of libraries and tools for accelerating research and development toward useful accelerated quantum supercomputing.

Belief Propagation-Ordered Statistics Decoding (BP-OSD) is one of the most promising approaches for scalable quantum error correction. CUDA-Q QEC accelerates BP-OSD with state-of-the-art latency and throughput, offering a 29–35x speedup over industry standard decoders for a single shot, as well as an additional speedup of up to 42x for high-throughput use cases where many syndromes need to be decoded at once.

NVIDIA CUDA-Q

Quantum-accelerated applications won't run exclusively on a quantum resource but will be hybrid (quantum and classical) in nature. To transition from algorithm development by quantum physicists to application development by domain scientists, a development platform is needed that delivers high performance, interoperates with today's applications and programming paradigms, and is familiar and approachable to domain scientists.

With a unified programming model, NVIDIA® CUDA-Q is a first-of-its-kind platform for hybrid quantum-classical computers, enabling integration and programming of QPUs, quantum emulation, GPUs, and CPUs in one system. CUDA-Q is built for performance, is open source, and provides high-level language to develop and run hybrid quantum-classical applications.

NVIDIA cuQuantum

NVIDIA cuQuantum is a set of low-level libraries for accelerating quantum circuit simulation. cuQuantum is primarily used by developers building circuit simulation frameworks and accelerates Cirq, Qiskit, PennyLane, and more.

cuQuantum offers state vector (cuStateVec) and tensor network (cuTensorNet) circuit simulation algorithms with multi-GPU acceleration. 

The cuQuantum Appliance is a Docker container consisting of leading community frameworks accelerated by cuQuantum and optimized for the NVIDIA platform.

The NVIDIA cuQuantum Appliance is available in the NVIDIA NGC™ catalog.

NVIDIA cuPQC

To ensure the security and authenticity of the world’s sensitive data, it is now critically important that organizations migrate to algorithms that can withstand a quantum computing attack. This new quantum-safe encryption is known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC). 

NVIDIA cuPQC provides secure and accelerated implementations of the leading PQC algorithms, advancing data security against quantum computer threats and enabling cryptographic research.

NVIDIA Quantum Cloud

NVIDIA Quantum Cloud provides access to the world’s most powerful quantum computing platform through Quantum Cloud APIs capable of running CUDA-Q projects on a range of NVIDIA GPU systems.
