Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have achieved a significant milestone in quantum computing by simulating a key quantum state at one of the largest scales reported, with support from the Quantum Computing User Programme (QCUP).
This achievement has the potential to advance quantum simulation capabilities for the next generation of quantum computers, opening up new possibilities for solving complex problems in areas such as materials science, chemistry, and cryptography. The study collaborated with a quantum computing company and utilised the H1-1 computer to model a quantum version of a classical mathematical model that tracks how diseases spread.
