Quantum computers have the potential to transform science, accelerating breakthroughs in drug development, cosmology, materials science, nuclear physics, and more.

To make this future a reality, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are partnering with industry, academia, and the national labs to drive advances across the quantum computing “stack”—the hardware, software, and controls designed to ensure error-corrected quantum calculations.

“Making a functional quantum computer requires much more than qubits alone. It takes an entire technology stack that can harness quantum science for real-world applications,” said Chris Spitzer, operations lead at the Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT).
