How can we simulate the complex behavior of electrons with today’s computing power? Simulating electrons is one of the key challenges in condensed matter physics and materials science. Problems such as finding the ground state energy of the Fermi–Hubbard model are expected to be among the first real-world cases to demonstrate quantum advantage on near-term […] The post Simulating Electrons on LUMI + VTT Q50: Benchmarking Fermi-Hubbard Model VQE appeared first on LUMI.| LUMI
A new quantum computer named VLQ was officially inaugurated today at IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center in the Czech Republic, in the presence of prominent Czech and European representatives. VLQ is the second quantum computer launched in Europe under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking.

The ocean is Earth’s thermostat: it has absorbed roughly 90% of the excess heat accumulated in the climate system since pre-industrial times and taken up around 30% of anthropogenic CO₂. Sea ice acts as the planet’s mirror, reflecting sunlight and helping to stabilise regional and global climates. But both systems are changing quickly — Arctic […]| LUMI
Posiva Oy is the world’s leading final-disposer of spent nuclear fuel and is responsible for geological final disposal in Finland.
