IBM, ORNL and Cleveland Clinic achieve quantum simulations of fusion materials

Scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Cleveland Clinic and IBM have achieved what they’re labelling as the first-known computations of fusion materials on a quantum computer. According to IBM, the team of scientists calculated nine molecular configurations of a “promising material” that can produce fuel for fusion energy, where the results have been published in a new paper on arXiv. The research lays the groundwork for helping s…
