Showcased via a joint presentation at SC24, the application demonstrates the seamless integration of the core workflow behind several hybrid quantum-classical approaches to calculate the specific properties of a molecule’s electronic structure. These approaches have potential relevance in many chemistry-focused commercial applications, such as identifying how drug molecules might interact with specific proteins in the human body. The achievement captures IonQ’s interest in developing solutions that combine the benefits of quantum processing units (QPUs) with the accelerated, heterogeneous computing capabilities of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform.
“IonQ is building on its approach of accelerating AI, scientific compute, and other supercomputing workloads with quantum hardware – enabling entirely new ways to approach previously unsolvable problems,” said Dean Kassmann, SVP of Engineering & Technology at IonQ. “Today’s molecular modeling demonstration illustrates why CUDA-Q is a great platform for achieving seamless integration and top-tier performance with our leading quantum hardware.”
Since 2023, IonQ has supported NVIDIA CUDA-Q, a powerful, unified, open-source software stack. CUDA-Q is a hybrid quantum-classical computing platform that enables the integration and programming of QPUs and GPUs in a single workflow. This demonstration was performed using a combination of IonQ Forte, the IonQ Hybrid Services suite, CUDA-Q, and NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, which can be deployed to cloud and on-prem environments.
The demonstration at SC24 showcases a novel way to interrogate the properties of specific molecules in a resource-efficient way that has relevance in larger application workflows pertaining to pharma and other commercial domains. The work also sets the stage for IonQ to accelerate even more powerful ways to model molecular dynamics for future biopharmaceutical applications.
“Useful quantum applications will need to draw on both quantum hardware and AI supercomputing resources,” said Elica Kyoseva, Director of Quantum Algorithm Engineering, NVIDIA. “The CUDA-Q platform is allowing researchers and developers to explore these paradigms by accessing NVIDIA accelerated computing alongside IonQ’s quantum processors.”
Today’s news reaffirms IonQ’s commitment to developing hardware and software that leverages a combination of quantum and classical computation to enable efficient, performant, robust solutions that can be deployed at commercial scale.
IonQ’s Hybrid Services suite makes designing and deploying quantum-accelerated applications that take advantage of IonQ’s leading quantum hardware easier than ever. It achieves this via a flexible, easy-to-configure hybrid infrastructure, workflow management, and scheduling for cloud or on-prem installations. Further, it has powerful tools to help application developers explore new applications and use cases, such as prebuilt solvers for problem classes like quadratic optimization and graph partitioning, and out-of-the-box support for a variety of common programming models, including NVIDIA CUDA-Q quantum kernels.

NVDA (NVIDIA) Seasonality past 11 years
By: TrendSpider | November 29, 2024
• NVDA (NVIDIA)
While the S&P 500 shines in December, NVIDIA tends to stumble. Over the past 10 years, December has been NVDA’s weakest month, with a measly 40% win rate and an average return of -1.88%. Despite posting record-breaking Q3 earnings, the chipmaker has traded mostly flat in November, keeping pressure on as it enters a historically challenging period for performance.
