In a groundbreaking demonstration, Quantum Machines has successfully executed an NVIDIA CUDA-Q program that operates seamlessly across live qubits and a classical PPU processor using NVIDIA NVQLink. This marks a significant step forward in the development of hybrid quantum-classical applications. By combining Quantum Machines’ advanced quantum control technology with NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q platform and NVQLink architecture, developers can now leverage high-speed communication between quantum controllers and advanced computing systems.
The collaboration allows developers to create quantum applications using widely used programming languages such as Python, C++, or QUA without the need to manually generate the complex low-level control sequences that quantum hardware typically demands. During the demonstration, code written with CUDA-Q was processed through Quantum Machines’ control stack, effectively coordinating a quantum processor, GPUs, and CPUs. This system smartly directs different segments of a workload to the most suitable processor, with NVQLink facilitating rapid communication between quantum and classical computing resources, completing exchanges in approximately one microsecond.
Quantum Machines is currently presenting this innovative technology at IEEE Quantum Week in Toronto, offering researchers and engineers a chance to witness the system functioning with live quantum hardware. “Quantum Machines has been working closely with NVIDIA for a long time, and we are very happy to see these technologies and tools come together to enable quantum developers and allow them to move faster towards realizing large-scale quantum computers,” stated Yonatan Cohen, CTO of Quantum Machines. The integration aims to streamline the use of quantum processors (QPUs) as part of a more extensive system, working in tandem with CPUs and GPUs.
Sam Stanwyck, Director of Quantum Product at NVIDIA, emphasized the transformative potential of quantum processors when they work closely with GPUs and CPUs as a unified quantum supercomputing system. Quantum Machines has incorporated NVIDIA NVQLink into its Orchestration Platform, ensuring that the hardware managing qubits can connect with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing through a low-latency link. This integration allows a program written in CUDA-Q to execute quantum operations on the QPU, while CPUs and GPUs handle classical processing tasks in real time.
The low-latency connection is crucial for workloads requiring quick interaction between quantum and classical processors, supporting real-time data exchange and processing decisions within microseconds. This advancement could pave the way for future applications necessitating real-time quantum-classical coordination, such as quantum error correction and other advanced quantum computing tasks. Quantum Machines and NVIDIA continue to enhance these low-latency connections, focusing on making quantum computing more accessible and scalable.
