The Quantum Computing Access @ NERSC (QCAN) program is a first-of-its-kind program to support research across different qubit modalities for NERSC users. The QCAN program currently provides user access to Aquila, the analog neutral atom quantum computer by QuEra Computing, and to digital quantum computers from IBM Quantum based on superconducting qubits that are part of IBM Quantum Innovation Center at NERSC. More information about both programs is available via the links below. At this time, NERSC is not accepting new user proposals. We anticipate that a new call for proposals will be issued in early 2026. Email QCA-NERSC@lbl.gov for further information.

The QCAN: Neutral Atoms program started in October 2024 and runs through summer 2025. It provides access and support for NERSC users to perform research on Aquila, the analog neutral atom quantum computer by QuEra Computing. Users for the current program year have been selected and new applications are currently not accepted.
