Clean energy from the same reactions that power the sun
Problem
Reliance on fossil fuels is accelerating
climate change. Global energy use is
expected to increase by 50% by 2050.1
Constraint
Energy production in fusion reactors
requires compressing plasma into extreme
conditions where quantum effects cause
exponentially complex behavior.
Quantum Solution
Insights from quantum simulation may
produce more realistic physical models of
fusion, accelerating the path to clean
energy.
