IonQ to Deploy First On-Premise Quantum Processor at Nvidia Research Center

IonQ will install its Superion 256 quantum processor at Nvidia's Accelerated Quantum Research Center in 2027. The system is the facility's first on-premise quantum computer. It connects to Nvidia's GB200 NVL72 via NVQLink and runs under CUDA-Q. The companies will jointly research hybrid quantum-GPU applications in finance, materials science, and drug discovery. IonQ also announced a real-time quantum error correction decoder tested on simulated circuits. IonQ shares rose as much as 10% on the news before paring gains.
