SANTA CLARA — NVIDIA has introduced a pioneering cloud service aimed at empowering researchers and developers to delve deeper into the realm of quantum computing. The launch of the NVIDIA Quantum Cloud marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of breakthroughs across various scientific disciplines, including chemistry, biology, and materials science.

Built upon the foundation of NVIDIA’s open-source CUDA-Q™ quantum computing platform, Quantum Cloud serves as a microservice, facilitating the creation and testing of new quantum algorithms and applications in the cloud. This groundbreaking initiative allows users to explore powerful simulators and tools for hybrid quantum-classical programming, thereby democratizing access to quantum computing capabilities.

Tim Costa, Director of HPC and quantum computing at NVIDIA, emphasized the inclusive nature of this endeavor, stating, “NVIDIA Quantum Cloud breaks down the barriers to explore this transformative technology and lets every scientist in the world harness the power of quantum computing and bring their ideas closer to reality.”

Key features of Quantum Cloud include integrations with third-party software aimed at expediting scientific exploration. Notable collaborations include the Generative Quantum Eigensolver, developed in partnership with the University of Toronto, which employs large language models to enhance the efficiency of molecular energy calculations. Additionally, partnerships with companies like Classiq and QC Ware facilitate the generation of complex quantum programs and address intricate quantum chemistry challenges, respectively.

The adoption of NVIDIA’s Quantum Cloud extends beyond the company’s direct endeavors, with over 160 partners in its quantum computing ecosystem. Major cloud service providers, including Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, have integrated Quantum Cloud into their offerings. Furthermore, leading quantum companies such as IQM Quantum Computers and OQC have joined forces with NVIDIA to advance the accessibility and capabilities of quantum computing technology.

For those eager to embark on the quantum computing journey, early access to NVIDIA Quantum Cloud is now available for innovators in the field. Interested parties can sign up to accelerate their quantum computing development and explore the vast potential of this cutting-edge technology.

For further insights into NVIDIA Quantum Cloud and its implications, viewers are encouraged to watch the GTC keynote delivered by Jensen Huang. Additionally, registration for GTC sessions, featuring presentations from NVIDIA and industry leaders, is open through March 21.
