IonQ will install its 256-qubit Superion 256 quantum processing unit at Nvidia’s Accelerated Quantum Research Center in 2027, marking the first on-premise quantum system at the facility. The trapped-ion system will connect directly to Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 hardware via NVQLink and run on Nvidia’s open-source CUDA-Q platform. The two companies will collaborate on quantum-GPU co-design, hybrid algorithm development, and applications including portfolio optimization, risk modeling, materials science, drug discovery, and computational chemistry. IonQ acquired semiconductor foundry SkyWater to manufacture its quantum processors using semiconductor-like factory production methods.
