Oak Ridge National Lab, Cleveland Clinic, and IBM Achieve First-Known Computations of Fusion Materials on a Quantum Computer

Oak Ridge National Lab, Cleveland Clinic, and IBM Achieve First-Known Computations of Fusion Materials on a Quantum Computer Image: Primary
YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. A team of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic and IBM have calculated nine molecular configurations of a promising material to produce fuel for fusion energy the first-known instance of such computations on quantum computers. IBM announced the achievement July 6, 2026. The press release issued from Yorktown Heights, New York said the three organizations worked jointly on the computations. The IBM newsroom posted the information detailing the work by the team from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Cleveland Clinic and IBM. No additional details on methods or timelines were included in the initial announcement from the company. The release focused exclusively on the completion of the nine molecular configurations for the fusion energy material on a quantum computer.
