Iceberg Quantum used it to model 1,000 logical qubits with 150,000 physical qubits, roughly 10x fewer than Diraq's earlier estimate. Fermilab cut fault-tolerant design evaluation time from about five months to three weeks, and Sandia National Laboratories made its new QUOPS cross-platform benchmarking tool available through CUDA-Q, with early results for Google, IBM and Quantinuum QPUs. CUDA-Q Logical is already adopted by QPU makers including Infleqtion, IQM, Quantum Motion and Sandia, and is available now on GitHub alongside the QUOPS repository. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

CUDA-Q Logical is an open-source orchestration layer within NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform that lets researchers design, orchestrate, and verify the many components needed for fault-tolerant quantum computing applications. It allows switching between algorithms, error-correction codes, and hardware architectures to identify optimal system configurations using logical qubits, and is available now on GitHub. _Teams codesigning quantum hardware and algorithms can track platform updates like this on daily.dev._ ### How did Iceberg Quantum reduce the physical qubit count needed for 1,000 logical qubits on Diraq hardware? Using CUDA-Q Logical, Iceberg Quantum modeled Diraq's fault-tolerant architecture and showed that 1,000 logical qubits could be created with just 150,000 physical qubits, about 10 times fewer than Diraq's previous estimate. This rapid assessment of implementation options helped dramatically cut the hardware overhead required for practical fault-tolerant quantum computing. _Engineers estimating qubit overhead for fault-tolerant designs can follow developments like this on daily.dev._ ### What is Sandia's QUOPS benchmark and which quantum processors has it measured? QUOPS is a new, independent, hardware-agnostic cross-platform benchmark created by Sandia National Laboratories to measure progress toward utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing, moving beyond raw physical qubit counts. Sandia reported early QUOPS results for QPUs from Google, IBM, and Quantinuum in a preprint ahead of IEEE Quantum Week, and a reference implementation is available in NVIDIA CUDA-Q. _Anyone comparing quantum hardware progress can keep up with new benchmarks like QUOPS on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Logical Qubit Technology Launches Quantum Cloud Platform for Superconducting Quantum Computing](https://daily.dev/posts/logical-qubit-technology-launches-quantum-cloud-platform-for-superconducting-quantum-computing-8pzrh6ldc) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Eclipse Qrisp Integrates NVIDIA CUDA-Q for Quantum Software Development](https://daily.dev/posts/eclipse-qrisp-integrates-nvidia-cuda-q-for-quantum-software-development-ilivqawl5) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-expands-open-source-cuda-q-platform-mkfav07mh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"NVIDIA Expands Open Source CUDA-Q Platform","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-expands-open-source-cuda-q-platform-mkfav07mh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-expands-open-source-cuda-q-platform-mkfav07mh"},"datePublished":"2026-09-14T14:16:39.383Z","dateModified":"2026-09-15T09:19:19.702Z","description":"NVIDIA has expanded its open-source CUDA-Q platform with CUDA-Q Logical, an orchestration layer for designing and testing applications on fault-tolerant...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/74983c8aaf28015b72aa10ea9c3f9b62?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/74983c8aaf28015b72aa10ea9c3f9b62?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-expands-open-source-cuda-q-platform-mkfav07mh","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,nvidia,quantum-computing","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"NVIDIA Expands Open Source CUDA-Q Platform"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-expands-open-source-cuda-q-platform-mkfav07mh#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is CUDA-Q Logical and what does it do for fault-tolerant quantum computing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"CUDA-Q Logical is an open-source orchestration layer within NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform that lets researchers design, orchestrate, and verify the many components needed for fault-tolerant quantum computing applications.
