Much belatedly, Nvidia is finally joining the quantum race, which is accumulating investments from all over the world. The company announced the development of Quantum Cloud, its own platform for simulating quantum computing.
It is assumed that Nvidia’s quantum center will be based on classic silicon processors for artificial intelligence – Hopper H100 or Blackwell B200. The system will imitate operation of a quantum computer, offering researchers access to tools for conducting experiments and developing software for quantum systems.
Quantum computers use the properties of quantum mechanics to carry out calculations, which is why they can show significantly higher performance in some tasks compared to classical computers. The operation of such systems requires extremely low temperatures, as well as a high degree of insulation from environmental influences.
It is likely that Nvidia expects to attract multi-billion dollar investments to develop the platform, including from government agencies.
Quantum Cloud has been delayed for at least eight years. Access to the first small quantum computer was opened back in 2016, when the five-qubit IBM Quantum Experience appeared on the market.
However, currently existing quantum computers are not universal and cannot boast of high operational stability. In addition, it is not yet possible to implement many quantum algorithms on these systems.
I wonder if Nvidia Quantum Cloud will be able to contribute to the creation of truly universal quantum computers that can change our world beyond recognition.
