Boston, March 23, 2023 Quantum computing company QuEra Computing today announced a partnership with the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center giving NERSC access to QuEra neutral-atom technology. The partnership is intended to advance the centers development of quantum computers and address problems in quantum dynamics, chemistry, high-energy physics and other fields.

NERSC, at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has about 9,000 scientific users accessing the centers HPC and data resources. QuEra said the partnership will begin this spring enabling NERSCs users to evaluate the companys Aquila quantum computer.

It is a privilege to provide NERSC with access to QuEras quantum computing resources and tocontribute to its ongoing efforts to increase its users computing capability. We believe the vast pool ofscientists who turn to NERSC for computing resources stand to benefit greatly from our technology. It isour hope that through this partnership, we can help accelerate scientific breakthroughs in an array ofdisciplines, said Alexander Keesling, CEO at QuEra Computing.

NERSC is acknowledged in more than 2,000 scientific publications annually, making it a world leader inenabling scientific discovery though large-scale computation and data analysis.

Adding quantum computing and quantum simulation capabilities of this kind has the potential toimpact a significant portion of NERSCs user base, whose work is in sectors where there are directapplications for this technology, said Richard Gerber, Senior Science Advisor and Head of the HPCDepartment at NERSC. Technology is evolving quickly in the HPC space. This project will increase ourcapacity to better serve our users in the future and reflects NERSCs commitment to providing thescientific community with new and advanced computational tools as they become available.

For QuEra, this new partnership signals the opportunity to partner with NERSC in support of its missionto accelerate scientific discovery at the DOE Office of Science through high performance computing anddata analysis. This not only allows QuEra to deliver value for users in the near-term, but also provides anopportunity to gain valuable insights into how users deploy the technology and enables the company tomake adjustments that would potentially unlock even greater value for users.
