Bull to Deliver LUMI-AI Supercomputer, Integrating Quantum Computing Platform LUMI-IQ for Hybrid Workloads

Bull has been selected by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the LUMI AI Factory consortium to deliver LUMI-AI, a €387.8 million AI supercomputer. This system, scheduled for deployment in the second half of 2027 at CSC's data center in Kajaani, Finland, will significantly enhance Europe's AI capabilities, providing a tenfold increase in AI capacity and nearly doubling the high-performance computing (HPC) capability of the current LUMI supercomputer. Crucially, the LUMI-AI computing environment will be complemented by a quantum computing platform, LUMI-IQ, delivered by IQM Quantum Computers. Together, LUMI-AI and LUMI-IQ will form a leading hybrid computing platform, enabling workloads that combine HPC, AI, and quantum computing. The LUMI-IQ platform will be tightly integrated and co-located with LUMI-AI.

IBM Quantum Computer Achieves Breakthrough in Solving Classically Intractable Problem in 15 Minutes

IBM Quantum Computer Achieves Breakthrough in Solving Classically Intractable Problem in 15 Minutes

IBM, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Chicago, has announced a significant advancement in quantum computing. An IBM quantum computer successfully solved a problem considered beyond the practical reach of leading classical simulation techniques in approximately 15 minutes. This experiment also provided verifiable evidence that the quantum computer produced a reliable result, addressing a critical challenge in quantum computing: verifying the accuracy of complex quantum calculations. The researchers utilized a newly designed form of encoded quantum circuit, which allowed for the operation of 70 logical qubits and demonstrated a 10-fold reduction in effective logical error rates compared to underlying physical error rates. This achievement marks one of the largest demonstrations of logical quantum computing to date, with the circuits and experimental results made publicly available through the Quantum Advantage Tracker.

IBM Quantum Computer Achieves Quantum Advantage by Solving Classically Intractable Problem in 15 Minutes

IBM, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Chicago, has announced a significant breakthrough in quantum computing. They successfully performed a quantum computation that is beyond the practical reach of leading classical simulation techniques, completing the task in approximately 15 minutes. This achievement, detailed in their new paper 'Sampling hard circuits with verifiably high fidelity,' marks a new stage in quantum advantage. The experiment utilized a newly designed encoded quantum circuit, representing one of the largest demonstrations of logical quantum computing to date. The researchers also developed a more structured method for verifying the results, addressing a long-standing challenge in quantum computing where verifying complex quantum calculations becomes infeasible for classical computers. This method allows for error detection during the quantum computation, enhancing confidence in the reliability of the quantum computer's output. The circuits and experimental results hav...

Scientists Identify Protein OPA1 as Potential Regulator of Fatty Food Cravings

Scientists Identify Protein OPA1 as Potential Regulator of Fatty Food Cravings

Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan have identified a neural protein, optic atrophy-1 (OPA1), that may control cravings for fatty foods and influence weight gain. Published in the FASEB Journal, the study focused on OPA1's role in the smooth functioning of mitochondria, often referred to as the 'cell batteries.' When OPA1 is absent or impaired in specific neurons carrying the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) protein, eating patterns change. Experiments conducted on mice engineered to lack OPA1 in these MC4R neurons showed a significantly higher preference for dietary fat and quicker weight gain compared to control mice. This effect was more pronounced in female mice. The MC4R-carrying neurons are crucial for energy management and appetite regulation in the hypothalamus region of the brain. The study suggests that impaired OPA1 proteins lead to less effective appetite-controlling neurons due to reduced mitochondria-supplied energy.
