Finnish Quantum-Computing Infrastructure
Acronym
FiQCI
Description of the granted funding
Quantum computers can dramatically increase the impact of research, by enabling solutions to problems that will forever stay intractable using conventional computing alone. Quantum computing is expected to impact practically all areas of research. Some of the most pressing challenges of our society, from accurate modelling of complex weather systems, via optimisation of resource usage, to development of novel, sustainable materials can be tackled with unprecedented vigour using quantum-accelerated supercomputing. To harness the full potential of this quantum revolution, tailor-made algorithms and software that take advantage of quantum physical phenomena like superposition and entanglement have to be developed. The Finnish Quantum-Computing Infrastructure (FiQCI) provides an open-access, state-of-the art, hybrid high-performance computing and quantum computing (HPC+QC) platform. FiQCI is accessible through a unified interface, serving the entire national research and development scene.
