As quantum computing advances with the number of qubits and complexity, superficial integrations with classical resources are no longer enough. Deep hardware-level integration is mandatory for quantum computer operations, particularly quantum error correction and the mitigation of drifting analog parameters.

To meet this need, NVIDIA and Quantum Machines co-developed NVIDIA DGX Quantum, the first hardware-based solution to seamlessly integrate GPU/CPU accelerators with quantum control.

High Performance and Scalable System

NVIDIA DGX Quantum integrates the OPX1000 quantum controller with NVIDIA’s Grace Hopper (GH) server through a low-latency PCIe interface (OPNIC), enabling data transfer from the quantum controller to the server (GPU and CPU) and back, in a round-trip latency of under 4 μs, at least a 1,000x improvement in latency over previous state-of-the-art integrations.

A single NVIDIA DGX Quantum fits in a 5U 19” rack form factor and scales effortlessly in both quantum and classical domains:

  • Expand quantum control by adding additional OPX1000 controllers to support larger QPUs.
  • Increase classical compute by integrating more GH servers to meet advanced processing demands.

NVIDIA DGX Quantum is the only solution engineered for scaling from small experiments to full-scale quantum-accelerated supercomputing.

Check out this NVIDIA DGX Quantum tutorial in which reinforcement learning is used to calibrate parameters on a Rigetti superconducting processor.

NVIDIA DGX Quantum Hardware

OPX1000

OPX1000 is the best-in-industry hybrid control platform. At its core, the unique Hybrid Processing Unit (HPU) delivers unmatched classical processing power close to the qubits, enabling real-time execution of demanding adaptive algorithms like quantum error correction at scale.

OPNIC

OPNIC is the low latency PCIe interface card that handles data transfer between the OPX1000 and the NVIDIA superchip. OPNIC enables multiple data streams of high-bandwidth between the different computational units of a DGX Quantum solution.

Grace Hopper

The NVIDIA GH server is powered by NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper superchip. This superchip integrates a high-performance GPU with a custom CPU. It boosts quantum control, ensuring the availability of the highest-performing classical resources within quantum circuits.

NVIDIA DGX Quantum Software

Optimized quantum-classical hardware requires optimized quantum-classical software. NVIDIA DGX Quantum includes NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q, an open-source quantum-classical programming platform, and Quantum Machines’ QUA, a powerful open-source quantum programming language.

CUDA-Q

CUDA-Q is a first-of-its-kind platform for integrating and programming quantum processing units (QPUs), GPUs, and CPUs in a single system, designed for hybrid workloads.

QUA

QUA unifies universal quantum operations in their ‘raw’ format – all the pulse-level operations used to control and measure qubits – with universal classical operations used in classical processing.

With NVIDIA DGX Quantum, classical acceleration routines can be called directly from the QUA pulse-level quantum program for execution on NVIDIA’s GH Superchip. Likewise, QUA routines can be called from CUDA-Q.

A&B roadmap enabled by OPX

"Quantum Machines' OPX played a key role in our roadmap. It enabled us to get the best control electronics out there [FPGA] without having to learn how to program them. QM provides a very scalable, very easy to use and very powerful hardware, which allows us to focus on the quantum science."

Théau Peronnin CEO and Co-Founder Alice & Bob

Mid-circuit calibration accelerates advanced teleportation research

“The Quantum Machines OPX control system has been an enabling technology for our research. It provides unparalleled flexibility and ease of use for experiments requiring real-time quantum feedforward control. With the integrated high-resolution time tagging, this platform is a no-brainer for advanced quantum networking experiments.”

Prof. Andrei Faraon William L. Valentine Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering, Caltech

Significantly streamlining the experimental process

”Diraq is delighted to partner with Quantum Machines, and credits their OPX control system, with its real-time capabilities, as instrumental in achieving the results outlined in our research.  The ease of programming sequences in QUA significantly streamlined the experimental process.”

Prof. Andrew Dzurak CEO, Diraq

Outstanding support. Performing and easy-to-use product

“My group is completely satisfied with the multiple OPX systems we’ve purchased. Qubit bring-up is fast and easy, as is optimization of high-fidelity microwave and z-pulse gates. The technical support team at Quantum Machines is outstanding.”

Prof. Robert F. McDermott University of Wisconsin-Madison

Simple to use, yet very powerful

“We are very impressed to see how simple yet powerful the OPX controller is, as we rebuilt our noise spectrometer for NV centers in a fraction of the time it took us with other instruments. Now, a student with no experimental experience can run the system autonomously, even programming new and advanced dynamical decoupling sequences which include real-time computation. QM's controller is easy to use, and its unique capabilities enable fast and steady progress in our lab.” 

Prof. Chandrasekhar Ramanathan Dartmouth College

Fast development & great support

“Incorporating the OPX+ in our measurement instruments allowed us to set up time-domain measurements in minutes, seriously speeding up our sample characterization process. ​

With the provided extensive live online help we get the support from QM's experts to further debug any problems arising during measurements. With QM support Qilimanjaro can deliver their differential Analog Quantum Computers based on superconducting qubit technology.” ​
