Trump says Iran war "close to over" amid hopes for more negotiations
Investing.com -- Shares of quantum computing companies jumped Tuesday morning after Nvidia unveiled the world’s first open-source quantum AI models designed to accelerate the development of useful quantum computers.
D-Wave Quantum Inc rose 10.3%, IonQ Inc gained 13.3%, and Rigetti Computing Inc climbed 8.9% shortly after 10AM.
Nvidia announced the NVIDIA Ising family of models, which provide AI tools for quantum error correction and calibration. The models deliver up to 2.5 times faster performance and three times higher accuracy for the decoding process needed for quantum error correction, according to the company.
"AI is essential to making quantum computing practical," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. "With Ising, AI becomes the control plane — the operating system of quantum machines — transforming fragile qubits to scalable and reliable quantum-GPU systems."
The Ising family includes two main components. Ising Calibration is a vision language model that automates continuous calibration, reducing the time needed from days to hours. Ising Decoding consists of two variants of a 3D convolutional neural network model optimized for either speed or accuracy.
Several organizations have already adopted the technology. Ising Calibration is being used by Atom Computing, IonQ, IQM Quantum Computers, and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, among others. Ising Decoding is being deployed by Cornell University, Sandia National Laboratories, and the University of Chicago.
The quantum computing market is expected to surpass $11 billion in 2030, according to analyst firm Resonance.
Nvidia is providing the models alongside NVIDIA NIM microservices and a cookbook of quantum computing workflows, allowing developers to fine-tune models for specific hardware architectures while maintaining control over their data.
