NVIDIA Expands Open Source CUDA-Q Platform for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

News Summary:

• The NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform now includes the CUDA-Q Logical orchestration layer, giving the quantum industry an open, programmable way to design and test fault-tolerant quantum computing applications in areas such as drug discovery, financial modeling and materials development.
• Fermilab used CUDA-Q Logical to accelerate fault-tolerant architecture development from five months to three weeks — a 7x speedup.
• QUOPS is a benchmark for the future of quantum computing, measuring the readiness of fault-tolerant quantum hardware for practical applications. Developed by Sandia National Laboratories, QUOPS is now available in NVIDIA CUDA-Q.

NVIDIA today announced an expansion of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q™ open source platform with CUDA-Q Logical, an orchestration layer that provides a programmable, verifiable approach to developing useful applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Fault-tolerant quantum processors with logical qubits are essential for useful quantum computing, allowing systems to overcome the errors inherent in physical qubits so they can execute the larger computations needed for practical applications such as drug discovery, financial modeling and materials development.
