Macnica launches program to test quantum circuit simulations using NVIDIA GPUs - NVIDIA cuQuantum added to "AI TRY NOW PROGRAM" and begins offering quantum algorithm applications and quantum machine learning development support in collaboration with blueqat -

Macnica (headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Kazumasa Hara; hereinafter referred to as Macnica) CLAVIS Company Company announced today that it has added NVIDIA cuQuantum to the scope of its "AI TRY NOW PROGRAM ^{* 1,}" a support program that enables users to verify the latest AI solutions on an NVIDIA development environment before introducing them into their own companies, and will begin offering quantum algorithm applications and quantum machine learning development support in collaboration with blueqat Inc. (headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Minato Yuichiro; hereinafter referred to as blueqat).

■Supporting rapid quantum algorithm application and quantum machine learning development using NVIDIA GPU
Quantum computing uses the laws of quantum mechanics to dramatically reduce the amount of calculations that conventional classical computers require, which would increase exponentially. It is attracting attention as a technology that accelerates optimization. In the practical application of quantum computing, it is said that scaling up is necessary to correct errors and noise, but this cannot be achieved immediately, and there is an issue of limited computational resources. Therefore, the development of algorithms and applications using quantum circuit simulators has become mainstream, and NVIDIA has released NVIDIA cuQuantum, which enables the development of quantum applications using GPUs.
To further support quantum application development, Macnica has selected NVIDIA cuQuantum as a target software for the support program "AI TRY NOW PROGRAM," which allows users to verify the latest AI solutions on the NVIDIA development environment provided by the Company before introducing them into their own company. Added. In terms of more specific development, we will collaborate with blueqat and begin providing technical support for quantum algorithm application development.

■Software platform for quantum circuit simulation that can be verified with this program

[Quantum algorithm/application development platform]
Target software: NVIDIA cuQuantum
NVIDIA cuQuantum is a software development kit (SDK) for accelerating quantum computing workflows. NVIDIA cuQuantum enables orders of magnitude faster quantum circuit simulations based on state vector and tensor network techniques.

■ Establishing a collaborative system with blueqat and providing support
blueqat provides contract development and consulting, including quantum machine learning cloud blueqat cloud and implementation of NVIDIA cuQuantum. Macnica provides an environment where you can try out NVIDIA cuQuantum on NVIDIA GPUs through the "AI TRY NOW PROGRAM."
In addition to developing future quantum algorithms and applications, the two companies will also contribute to customers' optimal application development by applying quantum-inspired technology, tensor network methods, to machine learning, thereby improving the efficiency of machine learning models through parameter compression and improved calculation speed.

*1: About “AI TRY NOW PROGRAM”
As an authorized NVIDIA distributor, Macnica not only provides hardware and support, but also offers the support program "AI TRY NOW PROGRAM" that can be used when considering the introduction of the latest AI solutions on the NVIDIA development environment. the Company engineers have carefully selected the best AI technology to solve problems and built the environment, so there is no need for customers to prepare the environment themselves. You can deepen your understanding of solutions such as NVIDIA AI Enterprise ^{* 2} and NVIDIA Omniverse™ ^*3, measure KPIs of performance and functionality close to those in the production environment, and accelerate decision-making for implementation.

*2: NVIDIA AI Enterprise accelerates data science pipelines to accelerate the development and deployment of production-use AI, including generative AI, computer vision, speech AI, and more.

*3: NVIDIA Omniverse supports the development of metaverse applications such as industrial digital twins.
