Berkeley Lab Supercomputer Breaks New Ground In Quantum Computing Simulation

April 13, 2017 | Cori, the fifth fastest supercomputer in the world, has been used to model a 45-qubit circuit, which, by all accounts, is the largest simulation of a quantum computer ever achieved. The virtual circuit is just a handful of qubits short of a quantum computing system that would be more powerful than any conventional computer currently devised. TOP500
