Quantinuum Partners with NVIDIA to Advance Quantum Research Center Initiatives

Quantinuum and NVIDIA: A Quantum Leap for Research

On March 18, 2025, Quantinuum, the global leader in quantum computing, announced its partnership with NVIDIA as a founding collaborator for the newly established NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC). This groundbreaking collaboration aims to harness the power of quantum computing to address some of the world's most urgent challenges.

With the world-class capabilities of Quantinuum, including its flagship System Model H2, the partnership promises to accelerate the development of quantum solutions and applications. This venture will utilize NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform, integrated with their powerful GB200 NVL72 supercomputer, paired with Quantinuum's H2 system, boasting a quantum volume of an astounding 2,097,152. This revolutionary capability significantly outstrips that of its closest competitors.

Quantinuum’s architecture is designed for optimal performance, promising the fastest resolution time in the industry while continuously pushing the boundaries of quantum computing. The company plans to roll out the first industry-standard 100 qubit logical system by 2027, setting new benchmarks with the lowest error rates in the field. Furthermore, Quantinuum aims to deliver commercially scalable quantum computers with hundreds of logical qubits by the decade's end, following a series of innovative technological advancements.

In addition to these impressive developments, Quantinuum made history in 2022 by being the first to integrate the CUDA-Q into its quantum systems, a pioneering collaboration that is still yielding fruitful results today. This integration enhances the platform across various sectors, including applications development and quantum error correction (QEC). Currently, users have a 90-day trial access to Quantinuum's QPU System H1 and its emulator, underpinning the increasing accessibility of quantum technologies.

One of the highlights of this partnership is the launch of Quantinuum's revolutionary generative quantum AI system, announced last month. This cutting-edge technology leverages data generated from Quantinuum’s quantum systems, significantly improving AI model fidelity and enabling solutions to previously unsolvable challenges. In this regard, Quantinuum is reshaping the standards for AI training and problem-solving across diverse industries.

Rajeeb Hazra, President and CEO of Quantinuum, stated, "By combining NVIDIA’s AI hardware and software solutions with Quantinuum’s cutting-edge technologies, we are delivering unprecedented solutions and accelerating the adoption of generative quantum AI across various markets."

Tim Costa, Senior Director of CAE, Quantum, and CUDA-X at NVIDIA, also emphasized that “the path toward useful quantum computing relies on new discoveries.” He believes that the NVAQC will serve as a catalyst for the development of practical quantum devices, positioning it as a hub for innovation in collaboration with partners like Quantinuum.

Quantinuum, which employs around 550 team members—including 370 scientists and engineers across locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan—continues to lead the quantum computing revolution through these strategic partnerships and technological advancements. As the future of quantum computing unfolds, initiatives like the NVAQC are crucial in ensuring that this transformative technology reaches its full potential for societal benefit.
