With the help of a new cloud service from NVIDIA, scientists may now explore the boundaries of quantum computing in important scientific fields like materials science, chemistry, and biology. The open-source CUDA-Q quantum computing technology, which is used by a significant part of the businesses deploying quantum processing units, or QPUs, is the foundation of NVIDIA Quantum Cloud.
“Quantum computing presents the next revolutionary frontier of computing and it's going to require the world's most brilliant minds to bring this future one step closer,” said Tim Costa, head of HPC and Quantum Computing at NVIDIA. “Every scientist in the world can now harness the power of quantum computing and bring their ideas closer to reality with the help of NVIDIA Quantum Cloud, which breaks down barriers to the exploration of this revolutionary technology.”
NVIDIA Quantum Cloud would feature the following capabilities and third-party software integrations to accelerate scientific exploration:
- The Generative Quantum Eigensolver - created in partnership with the University of Toronto, makes use of large language models (LLMs) to speed up the process by which a quantum computer determines a molecule's ground-state energy.
- Classiq’s integration with CUDA-Q - permits the creation of complex, large-scale quantum programs as well as the in-depth analysis and operation of quantum circuits by quantum researchers.
- QC Ware Promethium - addresses challenging issues in quantum chemistry, including molecular simulation.
Adoption by Quantum Ecosystem
NVIDIA's ecosystem for quantum computing has over 160 partners. As with many other major quantum enterprises including IQM Quantum Computers, OQC, ORCA Computing, qBraid, and Quantinuum, top cloud service providers like Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are incorporating Quantum Cloud into their services.
