A new Boston-based facility will bring together researchers and Nvidia’s latest GB200 NVL72 rack-scale hardware to achieve ‘accelerated quantum supercomputing.’
Nvidia is building a Boston-based research center where it will partner with researchers from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to advance the field of quantum computing with AI.
The so-called Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) will «integrate leading quantum hardware with AI supercomputers, enabling what is known as accelerated quantum supercomputing», Nvidia says. It opens later this year.
While it remains to be seen what comes out of this partnership, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pointed to «drug discovery» and «materials development» as initial focuses.
