They say that such a situation, known as a superposition state, allows quantum computers to act like a massively parallel computer in some circumstances, solving problems that are almost impossible for classic computers to handle.
At the core of the new supercomputer is a massively parallel computer system comprised of 3,392 FX1 computing nodes, delivering peak theoretical performance of 135 teraflops (TFLOPS)[1].
Both awards cited Lin for "performing advanced simulations with unprecedented realism and resolution leading to results demonstrating the positive impact of modern massively parallel computers and for outstanding contributions to improved understanding of plasma turbulence.
