Congratulations to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis on being awarded the 2025 The Nobel Prize in #Physics! 🏅 The Nobel Committee honours their pioneering experiments on superconducting circuits, which revealed quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale. This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for current developments in #quantuminformation science and superconducting #qubits. Here at Forschungszentrum Jülich, we are building on these achievements by developing quantum computers and #JUNIQ, the world’s first quantum computing infrastructure providing researchers and industry users with access to a variety of quantum systems. The award also has personal significance within our research community: Frank Wilhelm-Mauch, who coordinates Jülich’s large-scale QSolid and OpenSuperQPlus projects - both of which advance #quantumcomputing based on superconducting circuits - collaborated closely with John Clarke early in his career. Rami Barends, who is heading Jülich’s low-temperature laboratory for the development of superconducting quantum computers, worked for several years as a postdoctoral researcher in John Martinis’ group. This Nobel Prize win once again demonstrates how fundamental research drives technological innovation and how international and intergenerational collaboration continues to shape the future of #quantumscience.

👩🎓 Mission accomplished: The German part of the German-Dutch Quantum Future Academy has now successfully concluded. For an entire week, students from Germany and the Netherlands explored the quantum ecosystems of both countries, gaining valuable insights into quantum technologies and their diverse applications. Here’s what happened in the second half of the week: 🔦 Aachen – The focus here was on photonic quantum technologies. At Fraunhofer ILT, students learned why photonic technologies are often considered enabling technologies, and they discovered the cutting-edge research taking place in Aachen. This was also the venue for the second part of the workshop, where students transformed their business ideas for quantum technologies into full-fledged “Shark Tank”-style pitches. 💻 Jülich – At Forschungszentrum Jülich, participants explored the research fields and career opportunities available on site – valuable insights for those finishing their Master’s or considering a specialization. On Saturday, a major D-Wave hackathon took place, offering students a first-hand experience of what it looks like to work with quantum computers 🥳 The grand finale – Friday evening marked the official closing event. Students presented their “Shark Tank” pitches to a panel including Havva Coskun-Dogan from AGIT MBH, Christian Ertler from ParityQC, and Claudia Schmidt from Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt. Each group received individual feedback from the “sharks.” Many of the speakers and organizers involved in the Academy were also present, and the evening concluded with great food and plenty of opportunities for networking and in-depth discussions. 🔗 A detailed report (in German) with all insights from this year’s Academy is available on our website. We will share the link in the comments shortly. For a first look, check out the gallery. Photos: © VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH

JUPITER at Forschungszentrum Jülich in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, becomes the fastest #supercomputer in Europe. JUPITER, developed by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) and owned by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), ranks 4th on the June 2025 #TOP500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers and stands as the most energy-efficient system of the top 5 of the listing, which was presented today at the International Supercomputing Conference #ISC25 in Hamburg. JUPITER Booster, supplied by Eviden, is equipped with around 24,000 NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper #Superchips, which are optimized for highly parallel applications – such as training AI models or numerically demanding simulations. This enables, for instance, the training of the largest #AI models, known as large language models (#LLM). At full capacity, JUPITER needs less than one week to complete the task. In the future, the Booster partition will be supported by a Cluster partition, supplied by ParTec AG, featuring conventional central processing units (CPUs) with high memory bandwidth. The Cluster is specially designed for data-intensive tasks. With its enormous computing capacity, JUPITER opens up new possibilities in a wide range of application areas. #Climate and #Weather simulations can be enhanced and will significantly improve predictions of local extreme weather events, such as heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. JUPITER will also drive the development and optimization of a #SustainableEnergy system. 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 JUPITER is also setting new standards in terms of energy efficiency – with more than 60 billion floating point operations per watt, JUPITER is the most efficient computer of the five fastest systems in the world. With its highly efficient warm water-cooling system, JUPITER is also designed to use the waste heat generated in operation to heat buildings and will be integrated into the Jülich campus heating network. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 JUPITER Booster and its storage systems have been fully installed. Scientific users will get access in the coming weeks. Over 100 national and international applications have been selected via the JUPITER Research and Early Access Program (JUREAP), the GCS Exascale Pioneer Call, and the Gauss AI Compute Competition for AI projects. 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 JUPITER, short for “Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative Exascale Research”, is funded half by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and a quarter each by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (BMFTR, formerly BMBF) and the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (MKW NRW) via the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS).
