At IEEE Quantum Week in Toronto, Quantum Machines showed a single CUDA-Q program running across live qubits, its pulse processor and NVIDIA GPUs and CPUs, linked by NVQLink. Developers write the code once and the system routes quantum and classical steps to the right processor. The full exchange took about a millionth of a second, fast enough for real-time error correction.

## Key facts

- Billed as the first control company to run CUDA-Q end to end on live qubits over NVQLink.
- NVQLink is now built into the Quantum Machines Orchestration Platform.
- Programs can be written in Python, C++ or QUA.
- Measurement data reaches classical processors and decisions return within microseconds.
