Quantum Day: NVIDIA CEO Announces Quantum Computing Lab, and NVIDIA Tech Key to Advancing Quantum Innovations, Industry Leaders Say 
NVIDIA is diving deeper into quantum computing with plans to open a dedicated research lab in Boston, founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced Thursday as he kicked off a series of panels at GTC featuring industry leaders.
“It will likely be the most advanced accelerated computing, hybrid quantum computing research lab in the world,” Huang said.
The panels at GTC’s inaugural Quantum Day highlighted the critical role accelerated computing will play in advancing the nascent technology.
While technologies and approaches to quantum development vary, panelists agreed that GPUs and quantum systems will work hand in hand to unlock new breakthroughs.
NVIDIA’s new lab will serve as a hub for collaboration with leading researchers from institutions such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others.
The facility aims to accelerate innovation in quantum computing, a field with vast potential for revolutionizing industries from cryptography to materials science.
The event, moderated by Huang, included three panels and a long list of companies building quantum systems Guests included:
- Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave
- Ben Bloom, founder and CEO of Atom Computing
- John Levy, cofounder and CEO of SEEQC
- Krysta Svore, technical fellow at Microsoft
- Loïc Henriet, CEO of Pasqal
- Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion
- Mikhail Lukin, Joshua and Beth Friedman University Professor at Harvard University and cofounder of QuEra Computing
- Pete Shadbolt, cofounder and chief scientific officer of PsiQuantum
- Peter Chapman, executive chair at IonQ
- Rajeeb Hazra, president and CEO of Quantinuum
- Rob Schoelkopf, cofounder and chief scientist at Quantum Circuits
- Simone Severini, general manager of quantum technologies at AWS
- Subodh Kulkarni, CEO of Rigetti
- Théau Peronnin, cofounder and CEO of Alice & Bob
They discussed quantum computing progress on reaching double-digit numbers of logical qubits, as well as challenges, such as the needs to reach triple-digit qubits for practical applications and to scale to millions of qubits in the years ahead.
