NVIDIA has launched NVQLink, an open system architecture that tightly couples quantum processors with high-performance GPU supercomputers.
NVQLink enables hybrid quantum-classical systems that significantly enhance quantum error correction and control algorithms.
By providing a low-latency, high-throughput connection between quantum and classical processors, NVQLink empowers researchers at US national laboratories — including Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, and Oak Ridge — to accelerate transformative applications in fields such as chemistry and materials science.
NVQLink represents a pivotal advance toward the quantum-GPU computing era and opens new frontiers in computational capabilities that exceed traditional architectures.
“In the near future, every NVIDIA GPU scientific supercomputer will be hybrid, tightly coupled with quantum processors to expand what is possible with computing. NVQLink is the Rosetta Stone connecting quantum and classical supercomputers — uniting them into a single, coherent system that marks the onset of the quantum-GPU computing era,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
The unified approach establishes a scalable framework for future quantum applications integrated with AI-driven supercomputing.
NVQLink’s industry collaboration includes 17 quantum processor builders and multiple control system providers. This development signals a strategic leap toward solving complex scientific and industrial challenges with accelerated quantum-enhanced computing power.
By integrating NVQLink with the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform, developers can seamlessly create hybrid applications harnessing CPUs, GPUs and quantum processing units, preparing the ecosystem for the next era of accelerated quantum supercomputing.
