ORCA Computing,<\/a> a leading quantum computing company, announced a blueprint for integrating photonic quantum AI into real-world data centers. By integrating ORCA\u2019s photonic quantum processors with NVIDIA accelerated computing and the NVIDIA\u00a0CUDA-Q\u00a0software platform, the collaboration shows how data centers can immediately begin deploying scalable hybrid quantum\u2013classical systems for next-generation AI and machine learning workloads, underscoring how GPU\u2013quantum integration is moving rapidly from concept to reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis approach offers a deployment-ready, upgradeable path for organizations to adopt quantum-accelerated architectures without large infrastructure overhauls.\u201d<\/p>\n

The demonstration was delivered in collaboration with Imperial College London and the Pozna\u0144 Supercomputing and Networking Center (PCSS), bringing together leading academic and research expertise to validate the approach in an operational data center environment. This effort builds on ORCA\u2019s broader hybrid quantum initiatives, including the UK\u2019s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) system, which integrates NVIDIA GPUs directly inside a quantum computer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking together with Imperial and PCSS, we\u2019ve delivered a working demonstration of a distributed photonic quantum neural network inside a real data center,\u201d said Richard Murray PhD, Co-founder and CEO of ORCA Computing. \u201cThis approach offers a deployment-ready, upgradeable path for organizations to adopt quantum-accelerated architectures without large infrastructure overhauls.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the heart of this effort are two ORCA PT photonic quantum processors deployed within the PCSS data center alongside\u00a0NVIDIA\u00a0Hopper\u00a0GPUs. Housed in standard 19-inch rack cabinets and operating at room temperature integrated seamlessly through the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform and the Slurm workload manager, the system enables researchers to program classical and quantum resources within a single environment. This marks the first time photonic quantum processors have been integrated through CUDA-Q, creating a scalable path for hybrid machine learning and HPC applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur collaboration with ORCA and Imperial College has allowed us to create a unique quantum classical hybrid system at PCSS,\u201d stated Krzysztof Kurowski, Deputy Director & CTO of PCSS. \u201cThe open, easy integration of multiple QPUs and NVIDIA GPUs demonstrates that quantum accelerated supercomputing is not just tomorrow\u2019s promise but reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

This milestone builds on award-winning research from Imperial College, whose underlying paper was honored as\u00a0Best Paper\u00a0in the photonics track at a premier quantum conference held during\u00a0IEEE Quantum Week. By running a distributed system within an operational data center, the collaboration delivers both proof of viability and a clear, replicable framework for other facilities seeking to integrate quantum enhancements into existing HPC environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe integration of quantum into the fabric of HPC is a critical step towards developing the future of quantum accelerated supercomputing, combining multiple quantum accelerators with many classical accelerators\u201d, said Sam Stanwyck, Group Product Manager for Quantum at NVIDIA. \u201cThis work shows how the CUDA-Q platform can accelerate progress towards this future with open, performant, and purpose-built software\u201d.<\/p>\n

This achievement shows how quantum computing can move from theoretical proposals into practical, operational HPC environments. The team will continue to expand algorithmic capabilities, reduce latency, and scale to next-generation quantum systems, accelerating progress toward useful, large-scale quantum computing.

This latest advancement builds on\u00a0ORCA\u2019s pioneering launch of a hybrid quantum-classical platform for AI at PSNC with NVIDIA CUDA-Q, highlighting the strategic collaboration at the intersection of photonic quantum systems and GPU accelerated AI.\u00a0It also follows\u00a0Montana State University\u2019s deployment\u00a0of two PT Series photonic computing systems to accelerate distributed quantum computing and deliver practical impact. These efforts add to ORCA\u2019s global momentum, with PT Series systems now powering initiatives across Europe, North America, and Asia, including the UK\u2019s National Quantum Computing Centre, the UK Ministry of Defence and other leading enterprise and government institutions.<\/p>\n
