Nvidia is launching NVQLink and CUDA-Q to integrate quantum processing units (QPUs) with classical supercomputers. Dozens of quantum computing companies are collaborating with Nvidia, which aims to provide a platform for hybrid workloads.

NVQLink will facilitate bi-directional communication between classical systems and QPUs, using Ethernet for initial connections. Nvidia's architecture consists of a classical supercomputer, a real-time host CPU, and a quantum supercomputer.

The technology targets quantum error correction and hybrid classical-quantum algorithms. Nvidia has previously demonstrated significant improvements in quantum chemistry workflows using GPUs alongside QPUs.
