Nvidia (NVDA) has taken another step in its push beyond AI. The company introduced a new system, NVQLink, at its Global Technology Conference in Washington, D.C. The platform connects quantum processors to GPU-based supercomputers, enabling them to work together in real time. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang also revealed during the event that Nvidia had secured $500 billion in deals for its upcoming Blackwell and Rubin chips, bringing the company’s value close to $5 trillion.

The system was built with help from U.S. national laboratories and more than twenty companies working in quantum hardware and control systems. NVQLink allows data to move quickly between quantum and classical computers. This speed helps researchers manage and correct the errors that often affect quantum systems.
In the meantime, NVDA shares rose an impressive 4.98% on Tuesday, closing at $201.03.
Building a Hybrid Platform
According to Nvidia, NVQLink will be open to partners across the industry. The company said the system will link with its CUDA-Q software, which lets developers build and test applications that use both GPUs and quantum processors. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said every Nvidia GPU supercomputer will one day run in hybrid form, using both types of processors for advanced scientific and commercial tasks.
Meanwhile, several quantum computing companies announced integrations with NVQLink during the event. Quantum Circuits, Inc. said its Seeker quantum processor now works with Nvidia’s CUDA-Q platform. Quantum Machines also revealed that its control systems can use NVQLink to connect with Nvidia hardware for real-time feedback and data exchange. Alice & Bob, the France-based quantum start-up, also announced during the event its integration with NVQLink to improve real-time coordination between its quantum processors and Nvidia GPUs.
A Broader Ecosystem Push
The U.S. Department of Energy described NVQLink as part of a national effort to advance high-performance computing. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said collaboration between national labs, startups, and Nvidia will help the country maintain leadership in supercomputing.
At the same time, Nvidia highlighted its role as a connector in the quantum ecosystem. Companies such as IonQ (IONQ), Rigetti Computing (RGTI), and Oxford Quantum Circuits are among those working with NVQLink. The goal is to standardize how quantum processors interact with classical systems.
Market View
For investors, the announcement adds to Nvidia’s long-term story of expanding its computing platform. The company already dominates the AI chip market and is now positioning its GPUs as the central link between classical and quantum systems. Analysts have pointed to this move as another example of Nvidia’s strategy to build the core tools that future technologies will need. While quantum computing remains an early-stage field, the company’s focus on integration may give it an advantage as the technology matures. For now, NVQLink is designed to bring quantum and GPU computing under a single framework, providing a foundation for new applications in science, healthcare, finance, and cybersecurity.
Is Nvidia Stock a Buy?
Nvidia continues to hold the Street’s endorsement with a Strong Buy consensus rating. The average NVDA price target is $225, implying an 11.92% upside from the current price.
