Nvidia's (NVDA) CEO, Jensen Huang, announced that the company is partnering with Cisco (CSCO, Financial) to develop systems leveraging quantum computing technologies. The aim is to integrate artificial intelligence capabilities within the frameworks of 5G and 6G networks. Despite being in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) stage, the companies are excited to begin utilizing numerous applications.
Nvidia is developing a hybrid quantum-classical GPU computing platform named CUDA-Q. This platform is being created in collaboration with several leading companies, with a vision that all future supercomputers will incorporate quantum accelerators and quantum processing units (QPUs), thereby establishing a new computing ecosystem.
