Quantum Machines has showcased a groundbreaking development by running an NVIDIA CUDA-Q program across live qubits and a classical PPU processor through NVIDIA’s NVQLink, marking a significant advancement in hybrid quantum-classical application development. This innovative demonstration combines Quantum Machines’ quantum control technology with NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q open platform for quantum-GPU computing and NVQLink architecture, facilitating a high-speed connection between quantum controllers and accelerated computing systems. The integration enables developers to write quantum applications using familiar programming languages such as Python, C++, or QUA, eliminating the need for manually creating low-level control sequences traditionally necessary for quantum hardware.
During the demonstration, code written with CUDA-Q was executed using Quantum Machines’ control stack, seamlessly operating across a quantum processor, GPUs, and CPUs. The system intelligently routes various components of a workload to the appropriate processor, showcasing a unified approach to quantum-classical computing. The rapid communication facilitated by NVIDIA NVQLink between the quantum processor and classical computing resources enabled the complete exchange to occur in approximately one microsecond. This technology is currently being showcased at IEEE Quantum Week in Toronto, offering researchers and engineers the opportunity to observe the system operating with live quantum hardware.
Yonatan Cohen, CTO of Quantum Machines, expressed satisfaction with the collaboration with NVIDIA, highlighting the technologies’ potential to enable quantum developers to accelerate progress toward realizing large-scale quantum computers. The integration aims to make quantum processors function more like another computing resource within a broader system, working in tandem with CPUs and GPUs. Sam Stanwyck, Director of Quantum Product at NVIDIA, emphasized the transformative potential of quantum processors when integrated closely with GPUs and CPUs as part of a unified quantum supercomputing system.
Quantum Machines has successfully integrated NVIDIA NVQLink into its Orchestration Platform, connecting the hardware responsible for controlling and reading qubits with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing through a low-latency connection. When developers create programs using CUDA-Q, quantum operations are executed on the QPU while classical processing occurs in real time on CPUs and GPUs. Quantum Machines’ control system translates these operations into precisely timed signals that control and measure the qubits, streamlining the development process for quantum applications.
This low-latency connection is crucial for workloads that demand rapid interaction between quantum and classical processors, such as quantum error correction and other advanced quantum computing applications. By enabling measurement data to be sent to classical processors and processing decisions to be returned to the quantum control system within microseconds, this capability supports future applications requiring real-time quantum-classical coordination. Quantum Machines and NVIDIA continue to develop low-latency connections between quantum processors and accelerated computing systems, with this latest demonstration paving the way for more accessible and scalable quantum computing solutions.
