Quantum Machines has successfully demonstrated an innovative integration of NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q program with live quantum processors and a classical PPU processor via NVIDIA NVQLink. This marks a significant leap in developing hybrid quantum-classical applications. The breakthrough combines Quantum Machines’ quantum control expertise with NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q open platform for quantum-GPU computing, facilitating high-speed interactions between quantum controllers and accelerated computing systems.
This integration allows developers to create quantum applications in familiar programming languages like Python, C++, or QUA, bypassing the need for manual creation of low-level control sequences traditionally necessary for quantum hardware. During the demonstration, code written with CUDA-Q was seamlessly executed through Quantum Machines’ control stack, efficiently distributing tasks among quantum processors, GPUs, and CPUs. Crucially, NVIDIA NVQLink enables swift communication between the quantum processor and classical computing resources, completing exchanges within approximately one microsecond.
The technology is currently being showcased at IEEE Quantum Week in Toronto, providing researchers and engineers an opportunity to see the system functioning with live quantum hardware. Yonatan Cohen, CTO of Quantum Machines, emphasized the positive collaboration with NVIDIA, expressing satisfaction with the integration of these technologies and tools which accelerate quantum developers’ progress towards large-scale quantum computing.
Traditionally, quantum processors require specialized programming and control expertise. However, the new integration from Quantum Machines aims to simplify this by making quantum processors operate as part of a broader computing ecosystem, working in tandem with CPUs and GPUs. Sam Stanwyck, Director of Quantum Product at NVIDIA, noted the transformative potential of quantum processors when they function closely alongside GPUs and CPUs within a unified quantum supercomputing system.
The integration of NVIDIA NVQLink into Quantum Machines’ Orchestration Platform is a significant step towards more accessible and scalable quantum computing. This low-latency connection is crucial for applications needing real-time quantum-classical coordination, such as quantum error correction and other advanced computing workloads. The ongoing collaboration between Quantum Machines and NVIDIA continues to refine these low-latency connections, aiming to support future quantum computing demands.
