computing

Private research institute of the Simons Foundation, focused on computational science. The Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) is the quantum-research division and is the home of the ITensor software library and tensor-network methods relevant to many-body quantum simulation. CCQ collaborates with multiple US academic institutions and publishes regularly in Science, Nature, and Physical Review X. Entity creation triggered by the 2026-05-21 Science publication refuting D-Wave Advantage2's March 2025 'beyond-classical' supremacy claim. Operates as a private research institute rather than a federally-funded national_lab, but functionally analogous to other academic quantum-research initiatives in master_list (Chicago Quantum Exchange, Caltech IQIM).
