From Theory to Quantum Reality: 3D Diffusion on a Superconducting Chip

Quanscient and IQM Quantum Computers hosted an exclusive webinar showcasing the world’s first 3D advection-diffusion simulation on a superconducting quantum processor. Attendees discovered how Quanscient’s Quantum Lattice Boltzmann Method (QLBM), run on IQM’s 54-qubit Emerald chip, achieved a groundbreaking simulation of contaminant diffusion in water—marking a major step toward practical quantum-enhanced engineering. The session highlighted how advances in circuit optimization, error mitigation, and hardware fidelity enabled faster, more accurate simulations, and explored what this milestone meant for industries from aerospace to energy.
