Nvidia isn’t developing its own quantum computers, but Chief Executive Jensen Huang is betting the company will play a critical role in the technology’s future. Huang unveiled NVQLink, an interconnect that links quantum processors to the AI supercomputers they need to run effectively during his Tuesday keynote at Nvidia’s Washington, D.C. Global Technology Conference. “NVQLink is the Rosetta Stone connecting quantum and classical supercomputers,” he said. Quantum processors represent a fundamentally new kind of computing that harnesses the principles of quantum physics to solve problems today’s classical computers can’t. The promise is big in areas from scientific discovery to finance. But to deliver meaningful results to businesses and researchers, they need to be integrated with high-functioning classical computers that perform calculations they can’t and fix the naturally occurring errors in their answers, a process known as error correction.
