Irish quantum computer developer Equal1 has signed a deal with Nvidia for hybrid supercomputer and quantum systems.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will see Equal1 and Nvidia collaborate on quantum technology use cases, business models and proof of concept.
The deal combines a hybrid silicon classical quantum hardware and UnityQ quantum system on chip with Nvidia’s CUDA-Q quantum software platform to pioneer the future of quantum computing.
“We see Nvidia CUDA-Q as a leading hybrid quantum classical software platform, and we are delighted to collaborate as we extend our support for and integration with CUDA-Q,” said Jason Lynch, CEO of Equal1 (above, signing the deal).
“We are particularly excited about the opportunity this presents to work with joint customers who see the potential of hybrid quantum classical silicon compute to deliver scalable quantum computing.”
