This project applies quantum computing to high-energy physics simulations, specifically aiming to enhance precision in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) calculations for Large Hadron Collider experiments. By leveraging quantum rules to solve complex problems faster than classical systems, the research seeks to extend the theoretical reach of particle physics and identify rare phenomena. This initiative represents a concrete step toward demonstrating practical quantum advantage in fundamental scientific inquiry rather than commercial applications.
FSU physicists receive funding $7.3M quantum initiative

FSU physicists receive funding through Department of Energy’s $7.3M Quantum Technology Outposts research initiative. The $755,000 project, “Seeking Quantum Advantage in High-Energy QCD,” will apply quantum computing to theoretical predictions in high energy physics and identify rare physical phenomena.
Florida State University physicists Laura Reina, Fernando Febres Cordero, and Herschel Chawdhry will lead a $755,000 project investigating high-energy QCD, funded as part of a larger $7.3 million Department of Energy initiative supporting quantum research. The team aims to determine if quantum computing can refine theoretical predictions used in particle physics collider experiments like those…
