NVIDIA To Collaborate With Japan On Their Cutting-Edge ABCI-Q Quantum Supercomputer 1
NVIDIA is all set to aid Japan in building the nation's hybrid quantum supercomputer, fueled by the immense power of its HPC & AI GPUs.
Japan To Rapidly Progressing In Quantum and AI Computing Segments Through Large-Scale Developments With The Help of NVIDIA's AI & HPC Infrastructure
Nikkei Asia reports that the National Institute of Advanced Industrial and Technology (AIST), Japan, is building a quantum supercomputer to excel in this particular segment for prospects. The new project is called ABCI-Q & will be entirely powered by NVIDIA's accelerated & quantum computing platforms, hinting towards high-performance and efficiency results out of the system. The Japanese supercomputer will be built in collaboration with Fujitsu as well.

Diving into what we can expect with Japan's ABCI-Q, NVIDIA stated in an earlier blog post that the firm plans to integrate its NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform into the system. This platform is an open-source resource that allows users to leverage quantum-classical applications. CUDA-Q will act as an integral part of the supercomputer, allowing the ease of integrating relevant CPUs and GPUs onboard. Moreover, Team Green plans to accommodate 2,000 of NVIDIA's H100 AI GPUs, which the latest NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand interconnects.
Researchers need high-performance simulation to tackle the most difficult problems in quantum computing. CUDA-Q and the NVIDIA H100 equip pioneers such as those at ABCI to make critical advances and speed the development of quantum-integrated supercomputing.

Japan's ABCI-Q supercomputer is a part of the country's technological innovation phase, where they plan on capitalizing on the benefits of current-gen technologies like quantum computing and AI to excel in mainstream consumer industries. A few months ago, NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang met Japan's President Fumio Kishida, and both of them talked about increasing collaboration across multiple sectors and providing a steady supply of AI equipment for Japan's needs. The unveiling of ABCI-Q is just a step ahead toward what seems like an extensive relationship between Japan and NVIDIA.
