WASHINGTON, DC (GTC), Oct 30, 2025 – NVIDIA has introduced NVQLink, a technology designed to accelerate the development of quantum supercomputers. Researchers from U.S. national laboratories – including Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermilab, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Los Alamos National Laboratory, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories – helped guide its design. NVQLink provides an open framework for quantum integration, supporting 17 QPU builders, five controller builders and nine U.S national labs.
“In the near future, every NVIDIA GPU scientific supercomputer will be hybrid, tightly coupled with quantum processors to expand what is possible with computing,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “NVQLink is the Rosetta Stone connecting quantum and classical supercomputers – uniting them into a single, coherent system that marks the onset of the quantum-GPU computing era.”
U.S. national laboratories, led by the Department of Energy, will use NVIDIA NVQLink to make innovations in quantum computing.
“Maintaining America’s leadership in high-performance computing requires us to build the bridge to the next era of computing: accelerated quantum supercomputing,” said U.S. secretary of energy Chris Wright. “The deep collaboration between our national laboratories, startups and industry partners like NVIDIA is central to this mission – and NVIDIA NVQLink provides the critical technology to unite world-class GPU supercomputers with emerging quantum processors, creating the powerful systems we need to solve the grand scientific challenges of our time.”
NVQLink connects quantum processors and control hardware to AI supercomputers, creating a unified system to address integration challenges in scaling quantum technologies.
Developed with input from supercomputing centers and quantum hardware and control system providers, NVQLink supports research in control, calibration, quantum error correction, and hybrid application development for practical quantum computing.
Researchers can access NVQLink through the NVIDIA CUDA-Q software platform to build and test applications that use CPUs, GPUs, and quantum processors together, advancing hybrid quantum-classical supercomputing.
Partners contributing to NVQLink include quantum hardware builders Alice & Bob, Anyon Computing, Atom Computing, Diraq, Infleqtion, IonQ, IQM Quantum Computers, ORCA Computing, Oxford Quantum Circuits, Pasqal, Quandela, Quantinuum, Quantum Circuits, Inc., Quantum Machines, Quantum Motion, QuEra, Rigetti, SEEQC and Silicon Quantum Computing — as well as quantum control system builders including Keysight Technologies, Quantum Machines, Qblox, QubiC and Zurich Instruments.
