Jensen Huang Introduces NVQLink To Bridge Quantum and Classical Computing (nvidia.com) 11
Jensen Huang unveiled NVQLink at Nvidia's Washington conference on Tuesday. The interconnect links quantum processors to the AI supercomputers they require to function effectively. Nvidia is not building its own quantum computers but is positioning itself as critical infrastructure for the technology's future. Quantum processors harness principles of quantum physics to solve problems classical computers cannot address, but they need classical supercomputers to perform calculations beyond their capability and to correct the errors that naturally occur in their outputs.
Tim Costa, Nvidia's general manager of industrial engineering and quantum, said AI will be necessary for full-scale error correction. Earlier attempts to integrate quantum processors with AI supercomputers failed to deliver the speed and scale needed for fast error correction at scale. Nvidia developed NVQLink with more than a dozen quantum companies including IonQ, Quantinuum and Infleqtion and worked with national labs including Sandia, Oak Ridge and Fermi. The interconnect operates on open architecture and works across different quantum modalities including trapped ion, superconducting and photonic systems.
Costa declined to predict when quantum computing will produce meaningful commercial value, though some quantum companies estimate two to four years.

That is the Nvidia way. We'll see if anyone is stupid enough to go along with it.

Nvidia stock is up over 4% today (as of this writing). A tick under $200/share.
Glad to see the investment paying off.

Yes, they did. NV probably didn't like that.

I thought they would wait for the AI bubble to pop before flogging the quantum one, but instead they're just going all in on everything. They won't have anything left to hype when this whole thing goes up in flames.
If they announce they are going to power these AI quantum computers using fusion reactors in space, then I'm moving to a cabin in the woods.

I'll start a company called AiCryptoQbitFusion so I can snag a wider variety of buzzword hunting investors. I'll use AI to generate a variety of ads with techno-babble, and breed the most "effective" ones together to get super-ads.
