> The new platform connects the high-speed, high-throughput performance of NVIDIA's GPU computing with quantum processing units (QPUs), allowing researchers to manage the intricate control and error-correction workloads required by quantum devices. According to a NVIDIA statement, the system was developed with guidance from researchers at major U.S. national laboratories including Brookhaven, Fermi, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos, MIT Lincoln, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest, and Sandia.
>
> Qubits, the basic units of quantum information, are extremely sensitive to noise and decoherence, making them prone to errors. Correcting and stabilizing these systems requires near-instantaneous feedback and coordination with classical processors. NVQLink is meant to meet that demand by providing an open, low-latency interconnect between quantum processors, control systems, and supercomputers -- effectively creating a unified environment for hybrid quantum applications.
>
> The architecture offers a standardized, open approach to quantum integration, aligning with the company's CUDA-Q software platform to enable researchers to develop, test, and scale hybrid algorithms that draw simultaneously on CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) -- which oversees several of the participating laboratories -- framed NVQLink as part of a broader national effort to sustain leadership in high-performance computing, according to NVIDIA.

I think this sentence killed off a bunch of my brain cells...

You may not know, but slashdot's very own [1]gweihir [slashdot.org] knew 35 years ago that quantum computing was a scam and doesn't need to read any papers on the topic.
From [2]comment #65750784 [slashdot.org],
> I have heard the empty promises of QCs for 35 years now and it was clear back then that this will likely never amount to anything. I don't care what they publish. Factor a 256 bit number on a QC and I may care again. Before that it is all just a scam.
So let's stop with the quantum stuff, ok? All those scientists and companies and investors are all wasting their time. They just failed to consult a long-time slashdot user for greater knowledge on the topic.

Any good link to buy a quantom computer? (Score:2)

I am willing to sell you an empty cardboard box for $1M and a claim that it is a great QC on top of that. Basically as powerful as any real-world QC out there, so you are getting a real bargain!

Get a QC that is more powerful than my 40 year old BASIC programmable pocket calculator first. At the current pace, that is several centuries in the future.

Really? Just quantum? The full buzzword compliance must include Blockchain and Crypto.
It is almost 2026 outside, ffs.

This story seems quite unlikely, at least the version with a connection to quantum computing. The story goes that a quantum computer with enough low error qubits could crack most common (non quantum resistant) asymmetric cryptography using Shor's algorithm. Asymmetric cryptography is the foundation of online encryption: HTTPS, TLS, SSL, etc. Used by banking and all the rest. Someone with this capability could do an awful lot of damage. Given the difficulty of building quantum computers, it seems unlike
