### NVIDIA to Establish Quantum Research Center in Boston
Chipmaker NVIDIA has announced plans to build a research center in Boston dedicated to advancing quantum computing. The NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) will integrate quantum hardware with AI supercomputers, fostering accelerated quantum supercomputing, according to the Santa Clara, California-based company.
Leading quantum computing firms, including Quantinuum, Quantum Machines, and QuEra Computing, will collaborate with the NVAQC. These partnerships will also extend to top research institutions, such as the Harvard Quantum Initiative in Science and Engineering and the Engineering Quantum Systems group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
“Working with the wider quantum research community to advance CUDA-quantum hybrid computing, the NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center is where breakthroughs will be made to create large-scale, useful, accelerated quantum supercomputers,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
The NVAQC is expected to begin operations later this year, though its exact location has not yet been disclosed.
