With the assistance of NVIDIA's artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure, Japan is making rapid strides in the fields of quantum and artificial intelligence computing. According to Nikkei Asia, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) of Japan is constructing a quantum supercomputer with the aim of achieving remarkable achievements in this specialized domain.

Dubbed as ABCI-Q, this new project will be powered entirely by NVIDIA's accelerated and quantum computing platforms, indicating that the system will achieve both high performance and efficiency. This Japanese supercomputer will also be built in collaboration with Fujitsu.

NVIDIA, in an earlier blog post, mentioned plans to integrate its NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform into the system. This platform, an open-source resource, allows users to harness quantum classical applications. CUDA-Q will serve as a component of the supercomputer, seamlessly integrating with relevant CPUs and GPUs. Additionally, Team Green plans to install 2000 NVIDIA H100 artificial intelligence GPUs and utilize the latest NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand interconnect technology.

Tim Costa, Director of High-Performance Computing and Quantum Computing at NVIDIA, stated that researchers require high-performance simulation to tackle the most challenging issues in quantum computing. CUDA-Q and NVIDIA H100 can assist pioneers like ABCI in making crucial advancements, accelerating the development of integrated quantum supercomputing.

Japan's ABCI-Q supercomputer is part of the country's technological innovation phase, aiming to lead in mainstream consumer industries by leveraging advantages of contemporary technologies such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence.

Several months ago, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, discussing strengthening collaboration across multiple domains to provide stable supplies of artificial intelligence equipment for Japan's needs. The release of ABCI-Q marks just the initial step in establishing extensive cooperation between Japan and NVIDIA.
