The world’s most powerful supercomputers are getting a diamond quantum boost
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee is the stuff of computation legend. From playing a central part in the Manhattan Project and the development of the first nuclear bomb, to housing the world’s first exascale supercomputer, it sits
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee is the stuff of computation legend. From playing a central part in the Manhattan Project and the development of the first nuclear bomb, to housing the world’s first exascale supercomputer, it sits at the very edge of what is possible given the extent of our scientific knowledge to date. Now, ORNL has chosen to partner with Quantum Brilliance for a hybrid quantum-classical project built on the Australian-German startup’s room temperature quantum accelerator — made from diamond — to give its supercomputers a quantum boost. Before we get into the bling part, it…
