The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) has established an operational baseline in classical quantum emulations by executing a full simulation of a universal 50-qubit quantum computer. Conducted on JUPITER, Europe’s initial exascale supercomputer hosted at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany, the achievement utilizes the JUQCS-50 (Jülich Quantum Computer Simulator) framework developed alongside the jointly run NVIDIA Application Lab. By scaling the emulation threshold to 50 qubits, the project surpasses the previous classical simulation record of 48 qubits, providing a high-fidelity verification baseline that physical quantum hardware must outpace to demonstrate computational quantum supremacy.
