Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory operated by the University of California, where quantum information work spans the Advanced Quantum Testbed — a superconducting-circuit platform with full control and measurement stack available to outside users — plus research on spin qubits, quantum networking, and quantum sensing. The lab's quantum efforts are funded primarily through DOE programs and are organized around shared user facilities and instrumentation rather than a single qubit architecture. It functions as a research and testbed partner for universities and companies rather than as a commercial quantum computer vendor.

QuEra Joins 3 Teams in ARPA-E Quantum Computing for Chemistry Program

QuEra Computing said its scientists will participate in three of the nine teams selected for ARPA-E's Quantum Computing for Chemistry program. The teams are led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Phasecraft. The projects target applications in superconductors, high-performance magnets, and hydrogen production.

OutlookPlausible

Within two years, QuEra's neutral-atom machines could be used to benchmark analog quantum simulation of small hydrogen-production catalyst models against classical methods.
