Nvidia Corporation is supposedly in advanced talks to invest in PsiQuantum, a quantum computing startup, The Information reported.

The startup, founded in 2016 in Palo Alto, California, seeks to "build and deploy the first useful quantum computers," according to its website. Quantum technology could potentially tackle computations that would be beyond the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems powered by Nvidia chips.

If confirmed, the move would differ from the tech giant's usual investing strategy, pointing to Nvidia wanting to be a step ahead of any possible shakeup in leading technologies.
