Keysight Technologies, Inc. has announced its support for the development of NVIDIA’s new NVQLink open architecture, designed to deliver low-latency connectivity between quantum processors and AI supercomputers. In collaboration with NVIDIA, Keysight is advancing hybrid quantum-AI computing through high-performance control systems and AI-powered infrastructure.
Disaggregated computer architecture is transforming the future of high-performance computing (HPC) by allowing organizations to meet rapidly changing computational demands with greater flexibility and efficiency. This approach separates compute, memory, storage, and networking into independent, composable resource pools that can be configured on demand. This enables precise resource allocation, maximizes performance, and optimizes scalability and cost.
As industries increasingly face complex, data-intensive workloads, ranging from artificial intelligence and data analytics to large-scale simulations and quantum computing, disaggregated systems provide the adaptable and future-proof foundation necessary to sustain innovation at scale. Offering seamless upgrades, improved utilization, and dynamic adaptability, these architectures are set to become the backbone of next-generation HPC infrastructures that drive breakthroughs across science and industry.
Drawing on decades of experience designing and enabling large-scale systems, Keysight is pushing the integration of quantum and classical computing technologies to address evolving computational challenges. Their Quantum Control System (QCS) facilitates precise, scalable quantum experimentation and plays a key role in the emerging quantum ecosystem. By collaborating with NVIDIA NVQLink and NVIDIA CUDA-Q, Keysight is exploring how to harness quantum control systems alongside classical accelerators, helping organizations prepare for a new era of hybrid computing, one that enables quantum-enhanced AI, ultra-precise simulations, and advanced modeling, while remaining adaptable to future advancements in both quantum and classical domains.
This initiative marks a significant milestone for Keysight aimed at uniting high-performance control systems with AI-driven infrastructure to accelerate quantum research and hybrid compute development.
Dr. Eric Holland, General Manager, Keysight Quantum Engineer Solutions, said: “As the industry accelerates toward the next era of high-performance computing, leadership means more than building breakthrough technologies, it requires defining the standards that make these transformative technologies universally accessible. By working with NVIDIA to establish a framework for quantum–HPC hybrid compute, we are helping ensure that tomorrow’s heterogeneous engines, spanning quantum, AI, and classical HPC, operate seamlessly within modern data centers. Together, we’re shaping the future fabric of compute for scientific discovery and innovation at scale “
Tim Costa, General Manager for Quantum at NVIDIA, said: “Driving breakthroughs in quantum computing requires quantum processors to integrate within AI supercomputers to run complex control tasks and deploy hybrid applications. Keysight is playing an integral role in solving this challenge, and NVQLink is the open unified interface for developing what comes next.”
