Nvidia to collaborate with Irish quantum computing company Equal1
Silicon-powered quantum computing technology company Equal1 has signed a memorandum of understanding with Nvidia to work on quantum computing use cases, business models and proof of concepts.
This collaboration combines Equal1’s hybrid silicon classical quantum hardware, and UnityQ quantum system-on-chip with Nvdia’s Cuda-Q quantum software platform.
“We see Nvidia Cuda-Q as a leading hybrid quantum classical software platform, and we are delighted to collaborate with Nvidia as we extend our support for and integration with Cuda-Q,” said Jason Lynch, CEO, Equal1. “We are particularly excited about the opportunity this presents to work with joint customers who see the potential of hybrid quantum classical silicon compute to deliver scalable quantum computing.”
The announcement was made at Nvidia’s headquarters in Silicon Valley as part of an Enterprise Ireland trade mission to the West Coast led by Minister for Trade, Enterprise & Employment Peter Burke.
Equal1 has received funding from Atlantic Bridge, Matterwave Ventures, Enterprise Ireland, European Innovation Council and 808 Ventures. It’s operation includes offices in Ireland, Canada, Romania, the Netherlands and the US.
Leo Clancy, CEO of Enterprise Ireland, said: “Equal1 is a pioneering company that is revolutionising industries with its cutting-edge quantum computing technology. Enterprise Ireland has supported Equal1 from the start of their journey and I was delighted to witness this very significant milestone today. This collaborative agreement between Nvidia and Equal1 has the potential to unlock major technological advances.”
