Classiq, which offers (what it claims to be) the leading platform for creating quantum software, recently announced a collaboration with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) in order to bring large-scale quantum circuits to customers.
Now, businesses and other organizations can “prepare for and explore the benefits of larger quantum circuits before the hardware is available.”
As explained in the update, “working with Classiq allows customers to expedite the creation and analysis of larger and more useful quantum circuits while helping them better prepare for the era of quantum advantage.”
Nir Minerbi, Classiq co-founder and CEO, remarked:
“Today, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for organizations to explore the benefits of large-scale quantum circuits. This is because large quantum computers don’t yet exist, and existing intermediate-scale quantum computers are noisy and limited in their ability to execute longer circuits. This new collaboration between Classiq and NVIDIA changes the game, enabling enterprise users today to explore how quantum algorithms perform at scale and be better-prepared for the next generation of quantum hardware.”
To create and debug the next generation of quantum algorithms, customers need “to simulate larger and more sophisticated quantum circuits.”
Classiq and NVIDIA are “addressing this need from two complementary directions.”
The Classiq platform synthesizes quantum circuits “from high-level functional models, and reduces these circuits to the lowest possible qubit and gate count.”
NVIDIA accelerates the simulation of certain larger-scale quantum circuits “with the NVIDIA cuQuantum software development kit, thus expanding the practical limits of quantum simulation.”
Now, customers can create and simulate more comprehensive circuits and “get a head start on the journey to extract true business value from quantum computing applications.”
For example, firms could explore how quantum computers “could balance large numbers of assets, simulate a more complex molecule or optimize traffic patterns.”
Today’s quantum computers can be used “to solve simple versions of these problems, but with the technologies of Classiq and NVIDIA, more sophisticated solutions can be created and debugged, stress-tested and scaled up in preparation for quantum hardware that can execute them.”
Sam Stanwyck, cuQuantum product manager at NVIDIA, added:
“Working with Classiq allows customers to expedite the creation and analysis of larger and more useful quantum circuits while helping them better prepare for the era of quantum advantage. By combining NVIDIA’s high-performance quantum simulators with Classiq’s industry-leading circuit synthesis capabilities, forward-looking organizations can leapfrog the competition and better position themselves for the age of quantum.”
Quantum is “disrupting computing, and Classiq’s Quantum Algorithm Design platform is the best way to develop quantum software.”
“Forward-thinking” companies use their platform “to solve real-world problems with quantum circuits that could not be created otherwise.”
Their patented tech “automatically transforms high-level functional models into optimized quantum circuits for a wide range of back-end systems, turning months into minutes of work and making it possible to harness the true power of today’s and tomorrow’s computers.”
