About us
Headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the QSC is one of five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers founded by the Department of Energy. This five-year, $115 million effort combines resources and expertise from four national laboratories, nine universities, and three industry partners. The QSC's research revolves around three focus areas: Quantum Materials Discovery and Design, Quantum Algorithms and Simulation, and Quantum Devices and Sensors for Discovery Science. QSC members also lead workforce development events, including an annual summer school, to support students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists.

Today’s quantum term: ⚛️ FAULT-TOLERANT ⚛️ This term refers to systems that can continue functioning correctly even when some qubits have errors. Fault tolerance is crucial for reliable quantum computing, in which errors often arise from decoherence and noise. So what are decoherence and noise? 🤔 Find out here: https://lnkd.in/eKz4FPMA

Today’s quantum term: ⚛️ QUBIT ⚛️ The basic unit of quantum information, akin to a classical bit. A qubit can exist in two states simultaneously due to superposition. So what is superposition? 🤔 Find that definition along with a full list of terms at https://lnkd.in/eKz4FPMA. 📖

Are YOU smarter than a quantum scientist? 😏 Apart from the actual quantum scientists reading this post, that's unlikely. Perhaps you’ve taken a peek into the field of quantum and found yourself reeling from concepts that you couldn’t quite wrap your head around? 😩 You are not alone! Quantum Science is complex — to say the very least — and its principles can be tricky. The Quantum Science Center has developed a glossary to help decipher the fundamentals of quantum. Follow along as we share new terms or visit (and bookmark!) the page for the full library of terms. Either way, welcome to Quantum 101! 📖 📌Glossary: https://lnkd.in/eKz4FPMA

Exciting research findings from the QSC! Our latest work integrates state-of-the-art numerical simulations with exact analytical solutions to uncover the stability of vacancy-bound non-Abelian Ising anyons in Kitaev spin liquids under realistic magnetic fields. These results mark a significant step toward controlling the generation and manipulation of Ising anyons, a key ingredient for intrinsically fault-tolerant quantum computation. The QSC looks forward to engaging with the broader community on the implications of this progress and its potential impact on topological quantum technologies.

Researchers supported by Q-NEXT have developed a more efficient preselection step for quantum algorithms to help #quantum computers simulate complex molecules. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gz-XxZXN The method focuses only on the most important parts of the molecule and selects the most relevant quantum interactions using a smart filtering system. The team tested this method on several molecular systems, including chains of carbon atoms and a chromium-based molecule, to check how accurate and practical the results are. Their approach reduces memory demands for selection and helps estimate the quantum resource requirements for simulating larger, more realistic chemical systems in the future — something current quantum hardware can’t yet handle. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gz-XxZXN Shreya Verma, Ruhee D'cunha, Abhishek Mitra, Matthew Hermes, Stephen Gray, Matt Otten and Laura Gagliardi conducted this research, working at the University of Chicago Department of Chemistry, the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, the University of Chicago James Franck Institute, the University of Wisconsin–Madison Department of Physics, and the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne National Laboratory. #QuantumComputing #QuantumScience
