NVIDIA is establishing the Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston to integrate quantum hardware with AI supercomputers. The aim of the NVAQC is to enable accelerated quantum supercomputing, addressing quantum computing challenges such as qubit noise and error correction. Commercial and academic partners will work with NVIDIA, with collaborations involving industry leaders like Quantinuum, Quantum Machines, and QuEra, as well as researchers from Harvard's HQI and MIT's EQuS.

NVIDIA's GB200 NVL72 systems and the CUDA-Q platform will power research on quantum simulations, hybrid quantum algorithms, and AI-driven quantum applications. The center will support the broader quantum ecosystem, accelerating the transition from experimental to practical quantum computing. Despite the CEO's recent statement that practical quantum systems are likely still 20 years away, this investment shows confidence in the long-term potential of the technology.
