To compensate, system architects bundle hundreds of noisy physical qubits together to act as a single, error-free &#8220;logical qubit.&#8221; Ising uses deep learning algorithms running on NVIDIA GPUs to analyze sensor outputs, identify exactly where a bit flipped or glitched, and calculate corrections in real time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"http:\/\/joapen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-17-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8682\" srcset=\"http:\/\/joapen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-17-1024x575.png 1024w, http:\/\/joapen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-17-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/joapen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-17-768x431.png 768w, http:\/\/joapen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-17.png 1453w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NVIDIA Ising depends on <strong>CUDA-Q<\/strong> and <strong>NVQLink <\/strong>components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CUDA-Q (Software Layer):<\/strong> <strong>Direct, critical dependency.<\/strong> Ising is a set of AI models, and its decoding and training frameworks are built natively on PyTorch and the <strong>CUDA-Q \/ CUDA-QX<\/strong> platform.
