Classiq, a pioneer in quantum computing software, has announced the integration of its software with NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the way researchers approach quantum computing, offering a streamlined process for generating, analyzing, and executing quantum circuits. The integration is particularly significant for applications in simulations and machine learning, where quantum computing holds the promise of solving complex problems beyond the reach of classical computers.
The integration leverages Classiq's advanced compilation technology, which automates the synthesis of quantum circuits. This technology ensures that quantum programs are not only optimized for execution on a variety of quantum hardware but also on NVIDIA GPUs, enhancing performance and accessibility. A notable demonstration of this technology's potential was previously showcased in a collaborative project involving NVIDIA, Rolls Royce, and Classiq, where they achieved a breakthrough in quantum computational fluid dynamics (CFD) by designing and simulating the largest quantum program to date.
Nir Minerbi, CEO of Classiq, emphasized the significance of this integration, stating that it serves as a critical link between high-performance computing (HPC) users and the practical implementation of quantum computing. The collaboration underscores Classiq's commitment to making quantum computing more accessible to the HPC community, enabling seamless access to optimized quantum and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms.
This development is a testament to the growing convergence between HPC and quantum computing, facilitated by hybrid algorithms, the co-location of hardware, and the emergence of a skilled workforce adept in both domains. Classiq's efforts are paving the way for solving intricate problems across various sectors, including healthcare, materials science, engineering, and finance. For those interested in learning more about Classiq's innovations, the company will be presenting at the International Supercomputing 2024 conference in Hamburg, Germany, from May 12-16th.
