At the GTC 2025 conference, Nvidia announced its plans for a new, Boston-based Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center or NVAQC, designed to integrate quantum hardware with AI supercomputers. Expected to begin operations later this year, it will focus on accelerating the transition from experimental to practical quantum computing. “We view this as a long-term opportunity,” says Tim Costa, Senior Director of Computer-Aided Engineering, Quantum and CUDA-X at Nvidia. “Our vision is that there will come a time when adding a quantum computing element into the complex heterogeneous supercomputers that we already have would allow those systems to solve important problems that can’t be solved today.” Quantum computing, like AI (i.e., deep learning) a decade ago, is yet another emerging technology with an exceptional affinity with Nvidia’s core product, the GPU. It is another milestone in Nvidia’s successful ride on top of the technological shift re-engineering the computer industry, the massive move from serial data processing (executing instructions one at a time, in a specific order) to parallel data processing (executing multiple operations simultaneously).
