英伟达研究人员在欧洲Jupiter超算上完成创纪录的104量子比特容错量子模拟，采用GH200 GPU且物理量子比特用量减少90%

Nvidia ( NVDA ) researchers ran what they said is a record fault-tolerant quantum simulation on Jupiter, which is Europe's largest supercomputer. The 104-qubit simulation used 90% fewer physical qubits than prior attempts, which Nvidia said can eventually improve research in the fields of drug discovery, financial modeling and materials science. The simulation was run on Nvidia's GH200 GPUs. "Useful quantum computing will require fantastically complex, fault-tolerant systems—and understanding how they behave at scale is essential to building them," said Nvidia CEO and founder Jensen Huang . "Our results from Jülich show how quantum processors and GPU supercomputers can work together to tackle research that would otherwise be out of reach—accelerating the discovery of transformative quantum applications." The Jupiter supercomputer is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and is one of the fastest supercomputers in the world. "Europe's investment in Jupiter gives researchers the ability to investigate questions that were previously beyond reach," said Kristel Michielsen , director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre at the Forschungszentrum Jülich facility. "Working with Nvidia, we're bringing that capability to quantum computing—helping scientists make better-informed decisions about the designs most likely to deliver useful applications." Research institutions, agencies and companies around the world are attempting to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computing system. Earlier this month, the U.S. State Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency selected IBM ( IBM ) and IonQ ( IONQ ) to lead the next phase of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative with the ultimate goal of developing a fault-tolerant quantum computer. IBM expects to deliver the first fault-tolerant system by the end of 2029.
