Heterogeneous Quantum-Classical Workflow Computes Tritium Binding in FLiBe Molten Salts - Quantum Computing Report

A research collaboration between Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Cleveland Clinic, and IBM Quantum has completed the first heterogeneous quantum-classical simulation of tritium binding within a liquid inorganic molten salt. Released as a preprint on arXiv by a team including ORNL Section Head Tom Beck, Corporate Research Fellow Al Geist, and Cleveland Clinic staff scientist Dr. Kenneth Merz Jr., the project uses quantum-centric supercomputing to resolve electronic ground-state energies for clusters of fluorine, lithium, and beryllium (FLiBe; 2LiF–BeF2). The joint venture serves as a baseline proof-of-concept for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Genesis Mission, which aims to eliminate the [...]
