AIST’s ABCI-Q supercomputer supports researchers in exploring quantum computing potential.
NVIDIA announced the opening of the Global Research and Development Center for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT), which includes ABCI-Q, a supercomputer focused on quantum computing research.
Quantum processors have the potential to support AI supercomputers in addressing complex problems across industries such as healthcare, energy, and finance. ABCI-Q enables quantum-GPU computing at a large scale, contributing to the development of practical, accelerated quantum systems.
Delivered by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the ABCI-Q supercomputer features 2,020 NVIDIA H100 GPUs interconnected by the NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking platform.
The system is integrated with NVIDIA CUDA-Q, an open-source hybrid computing platform for orchestrating the hardware and software needed to run useful, massive-scale quantum computing applications.
ABCI-Q’s AI supercomputing is integrated with a superconducting qubit processor by Fujitsu, a neutral atom quantum processor by QuEra and a photonic processor by OptQC — enabling hybrid quantum-GPU workloads across multiple qubit modalities.
