During the SC25 Conference, NVIDIA showcased its new NVQLink technology. This high-speed interconnect enables quantum processors to connect with HPC infrastructure.
NVQLink provides developers of quantum technologies with an efficient system for running control algorithms essential for large-scale quantum computing and quantum error correction.
It allows researchers to build hybrid quantum-classical systems, accelerating the development of next-generation applications in chemistry and materials science. PCSS is conducting projects in this field.
As of now, Europe and the Middle East are advancing quantum computing research, with leading supercomputing and quantum technology centers adopting NVQLink. Notable institutions include:
CINECA (Italy)
DCAI, operator of Denmark’s AI Supercomputer
France’s Grand Équipement National de Calcul Intensif (GENCI)
