The milestones to quantum advantage in quantum-native multiphysics simulations
Dr. Valtteri Lahtinen, Dr. Ljubomir Budinski, Dr. Ossi Niemimäki, Dr. Roberto A. Zamora ZamoraRecently, we achieved a significant milestone here at Quanscient in quantum-native multiphysics simulations. By quantum native, we mean that the algorithm encodes the physics of the original problem, in some sense, directly into the quantum system. That is, in a quantum-native simulation, we have a clear and direct analogy between the evolution of the quantum system and the process it models. The milestone we achieved marks the dawn of a new era in multiphysics simulations.

Do we need to understand quantum mechanics?
Dr. Ossi NiemimäkiQuantum mechanics has been a hot topic for quite some time now. To be fair, how could it not with the bizarre physical principles and the immense possibilities it provides in computations. Through the lens of one of our quantum mathematicians, Dr. Ossi Niemimäki, this article takes a standpoint on what it means to understand quantum mechanics and why we don’t need to do so — at least in the sense that you might think.

Pre-history of Quanscient: The history and math behind finite element analysis
Dr. Valtteri Lahtinen, Prof. Robert KotiugaWhere does finite-element analysis (FEA) originate from? What kind of math is there behind it? Why is abstract nonsense important to what we do at Quanscient? In this somewhat different blog post, we look at the interesting history and development of FEA, particularly from the viewpoint of electrical engineering. This is the story of FEA and thus the pre-history of Quanscient. Let’s dive in!

How simulations will transform engineering in 2032
Jukka Knuutinen, Juha Riippi, Dr. Alexandre HalbachComputer-aided engineering (CAE) has come a long way. With the increased interest and development in cloud scaling, the speed and accuracy of these simulations will see a drastic improvement. Finally, as quantum computers are lurking behind the corner, the R&D processes and CAE as we know them will forever be transformed. This article will first rewind the clock to see where we came from to eventually give you a glimpse of what is yet to come. Better hold on to your seats — this might get rowdy.

Quantum advantage or quantum supremacy - what is the difference?
Jukka Knuutinen, Dr. Valtteri LahtinenQuantum advantage and quantum supremacy are words often thrown around, but what exactly do they mean, and what is the difference between them? This article aims to shed light on these questions and straighten out some of the misconceptions. At the least, we are stating our policy for the usage of these terms in previous and upcoming blog articles and other communications.

Why superconducting qubits might be the path to quantum advantage
Prof. Mikko Möttönen, Dr. Valtteri LahtinenThe future of quantum computing is one of the most exciting open questions, as the timing for the physical implementation of a useful quantum computer, among other things, is still a question mark. This article will look at one of the most popular approaches: superconducting qubits. By the end, we will have a better understanding of what superconducting qubits are and why they might be the way to go.

The inherent problem in quantum simulations — and how to tackle it
Jukka Knuutinen, Dr. Ljubomir BudinskiQuantum computing can enable us to reach unseen heights in the field of computer-created simulations. Unfortunately, none of this comes without some significant challenges embedded in the physics of quantum mechanics itself. This article will go over these inherent issues while also shedding light on the possible solutions currently being rigorously researched.
