One persistent challenge in fusion reactor design involves building the interior “first wall,” which must withstand extreme heat and particle bombardment. At the Microsoft Research Fusion Summit, Zulfi Alam, corporate vice president of Microsoft Quantum (https://quantum.microsoft.com/), discussed the potential of using quantum computing in fusion, particularly for addressing material challenges like hydrogen diffusion in reactors.
