IonQ is getting ready to bring their quantum computer somewhere new: Nvidia’s research facility.

What’s happening:

  • IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) has publicly stated they will deploy their Superion 256 quantum computer at Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) Accelerated Quantum Research Centre located in Boston, Massachusetts

Why it matters:

  • IonQ’s Superion 256 will be the first quantum computer to ever be installed at Nvidia’s Accelerated Quantum Research Centre

Going deeper:

  • IonQ’s Superion 256 is aiming to be one of the first quantum computers to be capable of being mass-produced on standard semiconductor production lines and designed to fit within a standard data centre server rack
  • Nvidia’s Accelerated Quantum Research Centre is focused on integrating quantum processors with artificial intelligence supercomputers to solve technical problems such as qubit noise and error correction and has collaborators including Harvard and MIT

The fine print:

  • IonQ’s Superion 256 is not scheduled to be installed until next year and IonQ has also not publicly disclosed if there is a contract value or revenue attached to the deployment at Nvidia’s Accelerated Quantum Research Centre
