Nvidia has released a new system that connects quantum computers with its artificial intelligence chips. As an emerging technology, quantum computing is expected to bring about a huge increase in computing power and promote major breakthroughs in fields such as medicine and materials science. For quantum computing to truly become a practical technology, it must be able to work with traditional computing devices. NVIDIA is launching software and hardware components to interface future quantum technologies with its existing technologies.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at the GTC conference in Washington on Tuesday that the product, called NVQLink, will pave the way for a new generation of supercomputers and help reduce the error rate of qubits.
Jen-Hsun Huang said in his keynote speech, “We will expand quantum computers from hundreds of qubits today to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in the future.”
Huang Renxun also said that Nvidia has currently established cooperative relationships with 17 quantum computing companies, and these companies can support NVQLink technology, but he did not disclose the company name.
In recent years, the technology industry has shown increasing interest in quantum computing. Despite its early public skepticism, Nvidia is now beginning to prepare for the day when quantum computing may realize the results of decades of research, ensuring that its technology will still have a place by then.
