Infinity programme startup Fermioniq is celebrating today as its Ava product has become the first third-party tensor network emulator on the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform.
Fermioniq’s Ava allows businesses and researchers to design and test quantum algorithms on significantly more qubits than are typically available via current-day hardware.
Ava’s arrival on the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform enables a wide range of users to combine hybrid CUDA-Q programs with high-performance quantum emulators running on the latest NVIDIA technologies.
“Ava’s arrival on CUDA-Q is an important step towards closer integration of high-performance quantum emulators with hybrid quantum-classical computing platforms,” Jörgen Sandig, CEO and co-founder of Fermioniq says.
“Ava has successfully been used to accurately simulate challenging quantum circuits on 50-100 qubits, and can seamlessly scale to thousands of qubits for less challenging circuits. Ava combines highly customizable noise models, intermediate measurements and classical control, and online training of variational circuits, all running on the latest NVIDIA Grace Hopper superchips.”
The integration could help to accelerate the development of quantum solutions in pharma, chemistry, weather, finance, logistics, and more.
