(Bloomberg) — Nvidia Corp. unveiled a new system to connect quantum computers with the company’s artificial intelligence chips, seizing on an emerging technology that holds the promise of significantly faster processing to drive advances in medicine and materials science.
For quantum computing to become a practical reality, it will need to be able to connect with traditional equipment. Nvidia has created software and hardware that will pair the interface of future quantum techniques with its technology.
Nvidia’s new offering, known as NVQLink, will help pave the way for a new generation of super computers and reduce the error rate in the units of information used in quantum computing known as qubits, Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said on Tuesday.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks during the keynote address at the Nvidia AI summit in Washington on Oct. 28.
“It doesn’t just do error correction for today’s number of qubits, it does error correction for tomorrow,” Huang said in his keynote address at Nvidia’s GTC event in Washington. “We’re going to essentially scale up these quantum computers from the hundreds of qubits we have today to tens of thousands of qubits, hundreds of thousands of qubits in the future.”
Huang said Nvidia had enlisted 17 quantum computing companies as partners capable of supporting the new NVQLink, but he did not identify them in his remarks.
The technology industry has ramped up its interest in the use of quantum computing and its potential to outpace conventional machines in certain types of work. After publicly voicing skepticism, Nvidia is now making sure that — if quantum does deliver on the promise of decades of research — its technology will still have a role.

During his remarks, Huang said that Nvidia would be working with the US Department of Energy to develop new seven supercomputers that will contain the company’s AI chips at federally run research facilities. Huang praised Energy Secretary Chris Wright for supporting advances into the next generation of supercomputing.
“Secretary Wright understands this, and he wants the DOE to take this opportunity to supercharge themselves and make sure that the United States stays at the forefront of science,” Huang said.
Nvidia’s announcement comes a week after Alphabet Inc.’s Google reported a breakthrough with its “Willow” quantum-computing chip, where it ran an algorithm that can be repeated on similar platforms and outperform classical supercomputers.
The Trump administration has held early-stage conversations with quantum computing companies to discuss potential financial support for an industry that’s part of the growing race with China for technology supremacy.
