Nvidia seeks to position himself as a quantum computing leader. Jensen Huang, CEO of the company, announced the opening of a laboratory specialized in this technology, which despite being in its early stages, promises to transform the industry more radically than artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative marks a significant change in the company’s strategy, which until now has focused on the design and production of last generation chips and graphics cards.
The project, presented during the GTC 2025 developer conference, is known as NVIDIA ACCELERED QUANTUM REESARCH CENTER (NVAQC) and will have the support of companies specialized in quantum computing, as well as renowned academic institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute and Harvard University, according to the newspaper South China Morning Post.
The objective of the research center is to develop technologies that combine the power of AI with quantum computing capabilities. The projects will be based on the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform and use the GB200 NVL72 systems, considered the most advanced in quantum applications. The NVAQC is expected Start operations at the end of this yearwhich would consolidate Nvidia as a pioneer in large -scale quantum computing, with applications in various industries.
Quantum computing offers significant advances in the discovery of drugs, material science and the optimization of complex systems, exceeding the limitations of traditional processing. This technology uses Qubitssubatomic particles such as electrons or photons, to store and process data. The Qubits They are manipulated with electric and magnetic fields to control their instability. Properties such as overlap and quantum entanglement allow these computers to perform multiple operations simultaneously and high speed.
Various companies have ventured into this technology. Google developed Sycamore, a quantum computer capable of resolving in 200 seconds a task that a conventional supercomputer would complete in 10,000 years. For its part, Microsoft presented last month Majorana 1, a chip that would peplate that quantum computing solves practical utility problems.
This processor has the potential to be stacked on a single plaque, thus reaching a scale of millions of Qubits. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, explained that development was possible thanks to the study of topological superconductivity, a recently explored phenomenon that combines electrical conduction without resistance with the enigmatic topological states of the matter, characterized by its resistance to deformation.
The potential of quantum computing has generated a rapid expansion market. According to Market Data Forecast, the global market value of this technology reached 200 million dollars in 2023. The consultant projects that it will grow at a compound annual rate of 33%, reaching 2,640 million in 2032.
