Pasqal said Thursday it has integrated its neutral-atom quantum computing systems with CUDA-Q, an open-source platform developed by NVIDIA (NVDA, Financials), to accelerate the development of hybrid quantum-classical computing.
According to Pasqal, the move lets users mix central processing units, graphics processing units, and quantum computing units within a single programming environment. CUDA-Q gives developers instruments to design hybrid quantum applications for high-performance computing settings.
According to Pasqal, the cooperation increases the capabilities of its cloud platform and provides customers with access to new processes on its QPUs. This integration is meant to let the larger scientific and technical community create more effective quantum applications.
The news coincides with Pasqal's involvement in the NVIDIA Inception program for entrepreneurs. Pasqal will mix CUDA-Q with Pulser, an open-source programming tool of their own. With granular control over programmable QPU settings, the library is meant to help developers construct experiments for particular neutral-atom devices.
The business claims that CUDA-Q enhances Pulser by including Python and C++ interfaces, therefore simplifying the modeling of quantum applications and extending them across many computer platforms and so complementing Pulser.
According to Pasqal Chief Executive Officer Loïc Henriet, the integration with NVIDIA will provide the artificial intelligence and high-performance computing communities a more easily available interface for creating quantum tools.
Advancing research in the sector depends on CUDA-Q allowing integration between artificial intelligence supercomputers and quantum systems like Pasqal's, according to NVIDIA Senior Director Tim Costa.
