NVIDIA is building a Boston -based research center where it will contribute to the Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers to advance the quantum computing sector with AI.
The so -called NVIDIA AXCLAP Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) “will connect well -known quantum hardware with supercomputers, known as fast quantum supercompoting.” It opens later this year.
Although it remains to be seen what comes out of this partnership, NVIDIA CEO Jenson Huang pointed to “drug discovery” and “material development” as a preliminary focus. But it may take time. Huang said in January that quantum computers would not be “very useful” more 20 years or more.
NVIDIA invites “commercial partners” to use this facility in addition to education. All are looking for successes that will make the widespread, fast quantum supercomputer.

The center will run NVIDIA’s latest GB200 NVL72 rack scale system. With a lot of power in a small space, this system can “accelerate the adoption of AI algorithm in quantum computing research” and start solving the most difficult problems of quantum computing.
“NVAQC Boston Area is a very special addition to the quantum ecosystem,” says Mikhail Lukin, co -director of Harvard Quantum Initiative in Science and Engineering (HQI). “(IT), from quantum error correction to quantum computing system applications, is capable of accelerating research into areas that pull up quantum computing research and pulling useful quantum computing near reality.”

NVIDIA is also hosting its first quantum day at its GTC 2025 conference this week, calling it “one of the most interesting areas of computer science”. This will combine industry experts “efforts will be made to chart a course in the future of quantum computing.”
The broader tech industry is also working to make quantum computing reality. Amazon Disclosure In February 2025, a new quantum computing chip called Okilot, and Google revealed its quantum chip, CellIn December 2024. Last month, Microsoft faced its quantum progress, though some physicists have suspected of its authenticity.
