Nvidia Expands Open-Source Platform for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
Nvidia has expanded its open-source CUDA-Q platform for fault-tolerant quantum computing. The company launched CUDA-Q Logical, an orchestration layer that provides a programmable and verifiable approach to developing applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Fault-tolerant quantum processors with logical qubits are essential for practical applications such as drug discovery, financial modeling, and materials development. However, developing applications for these systems is a time-consuming challenge due to the need to codesign algorithm, error-correction code, hardware architecture, and other QPU components.
CUDA-Q Logical allows researchers to design and orchestrate the many components required for fault-tolerant quantum computing applications, enabling them to easily switch between options to identify optimal system configurations. The platform is already being used by QPU makers and labs including Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Infleqtion, IQM Quantum Computers, QCDesign Quantum Motion, and Sandia National Laboratories.
