Nvidia and Quantum Machines, the Israeli startup offering an orchestration platform to controlling and operating quantum processors, today announced the launch of Nvidia DGX Quantum, which combines Nvidia’s Grace Hopper Superchip with Quantum Machines’ controller.
Over the course of the last few years, it’s become increasingly clear that to effectively operate a quantum computer, you’ll also need a lot of classical compute resources to control these systems. And these two systems also need to be tightly integrated, in part because you need to run calibration and error correction algorithms on the classical machines to keep the quantum machines running. But every additional compute cycle then also helps to run additional functions and evaluate the data from the quantum computer.
“Quantum computers do have a very natural place — and that is to power supercomputers,” said Quantum Machines co-...
