Infleqtion To Bring NVIDIA NVQLink Quantum System to Illinois, Expanding State’s Leadership in Quantum and AI Supercomputing
Installation of NVQLink-enabled Sqale quantum computer announced at Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Infleqtion, a global leader in neutral atom–based quantum technology, today announced it will host an NVIDIA NVQLink-enabled quantum supercomputing system at the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park (IQMP). Infleqtion is among the first to integrate the new NVQLink open system architecture, which directly couples quantum processors with GPU-accelerated supercomputers, solving a critical bottleneck for scaling quantum computing and unlocking a new era of hybrid quantum-classical applications. This announcement follows Infleqtion’s plans to go public through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp X (NASDAQ: CCCX).

Until now, there hasn’t been a single, unified interface for supercomputing centers and quantum hardware builders to connect qubits to AI supercomputers. NVQLink changes that by offering a standardized and performant approach to connecting the two, opening the door to hybrid quantum-classical applications that will unlock new possibilities in materials science, clean energy, secure communications, and artificial intelligence. Infleqtion’s next generation of NVQLink-equipped Sqale quantum computers will build atop its recent achievements including the first realization of Shor’s algorithm for decryption with logical qubits, a demonstration of 12 logical qubits, and 1600 physical qubits.
“Illinois is staking its claim as a leader in the next era of computing,” said Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. “With Infleqtion bringing NVIDIA NVQLink to Chicago, we’re proving that Illinois is where quantum and AI supercomputing will grow, where high tech jobs will be created, and where the next generation of innovators will shape the future.”
“Our team could not be more excited to host this new partnership between Infleqtion and NVIDIA at the IQMP,” said IQMP Executive Director and CEO, Dr. Harley Johnson. “As a first of its kind park built for quantum technology scale up and related advanced microelectronics, research and development, the Sqale-IL system represents another validation of IQMP’s position as a global leader for quantum innovation.”
Today Infleqtion also announced it is making its Sqale system available through NVIDIA CUDA-Q, giving researchers worldwide the ability to run hybrid quantum–AI algorithms with real-time GPU connectivity. At the same time, Infleqtion and Illinois are preparing the launch of Sqale-IL. By enabling real time connectivity and the seamless flow of data between Infleqtion’s Sqale-IL quantum computer and NVIDIA accelerated computing, Infleqtion is using NVIDIA NVQLink to demonstrate how quantum and AI will ultimately operate together in supercomputers and national labs.
“For years, quantum processors and supercomputers have effectively existed in silos, since they have not had a standardized way to connect to each other,” said Pranav Gokhale, CTO of Infleqtion. “Enabling them to operate together in real-time, removes a major bottleneck to scaling quantum computing, one that will accelerate the research community’s ability to use quantum and AI together to tackle previously unsolvable problems in areas like chemistry, energy and national security.”
“NVIDIA NVQLink unites quantum processors and control systems with NVIDIA AI supercomputing, delivering a turnkey solution for integrating and scaling quantum hardware,” said Tim Costa, General Manager for Quantum at NVIDIA. “Through its NVQLink deployment, Infleqtion is scaling quantum computing access in support of a new ecosystem of hybrid quantum-classical applications.”
These dual milestones, broad cloud access for researchers and a landmark physical deployment in Illinois, advance the race toward fault-tolerant quantum computing while anchoring the state as a magnet for next-generation quantum–AI infrastructure and investment.
Infleqtion will showcase its work with NVQLink at GTC DC, where the company is participating in sessions on quantum–AI convergence and the future of hybrid supercomputing. In addition, Infleqtion’s Sqale quantum computer will be available to participants in a tutorial with NVIDIA and NERSC at the SC conference for supercomputing in St. Louis in November.
