Nvidia Launches Quantum Research Center to Advance Computing Integration

CEO Jensen Huang revises quantum computing timeline and announces Boston-based center for collaboration with top academic and industry leaders.

Nvidia unveiled plans for the Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston, set to open later in 2025.
The center will collaborate with Harvard, MIT, and quantum firms such as Quantinuum, Quantum Machines, and QuEra Computing.
CEO Jensen Huang walked back earlier statements suggesting useful quantum computers are 20 years away, emphasizing the industry's potential despite its complexity.
Nvidia aims to integrate its GPUs with quantum systems, highlighting the complementary roles of classical and quantum computing technologies.
Quantum computing firms are currently monetizing niche advantages, such as improved computing clocks, while the industry works toward practical breakthroughs.
