AI enabled protein interaction modeling
Wednesday May 21, 2025 10:30am - 11:00am MDT
AI assisted protein interaction modeling, pioneered by AlphaFold and RosettaFold, has become more diverse both with respect to the programs that do it, and how users run these programs. In this talk, we will cover the programs that are supported at the University of Utah, namely Alphafold2, Alphafold3, Colabfold, Boltz1, RFDiffusion and other tools from the Baker lab, the choices we have made with their deployment, and our experiences with using them. With respect to the ways to run, we will go over the standard SLURM scripts to run Alphafold in two stages (CPU only MSA search, GPU accelerated inference), use Colabfold server for faster MSA search, and using Google Colab running on compute nodes for interactive modeling in a notebook interface. Attendees should leave this talk with ideas how to set up and support these tools and contacts to UofU staff for further questions.

Chemistry beyond exact solutions on a Quantum-Centric Supercomputer
Wednesday May 21, 2025 10:30am - 11:00am MDT
A universal quantum computer can be used as a simulator capable of predicting properties of diverse quantum systems. Electronic structure problems in chemistry offer practical use cases around the hundred-qubit mark. This appears promising since current quantum processors have reached these sizes. However, mapping these use cases onto quantum computers yields deep circuits, and for pre-fault-tolerant quantum processors, the large number of measurements to estimate molecular energies leads to prohibitive runtimes. As a result, realistic chemistry is out of reach of current quantum computers in isolation. A natural question is whether classical distributed computation can relieve quantum processors from parsing all but a core, intrinsically quantum component of a chemistry workflow. Here, we incorporate quantum computations of chemistry in a quantum-centric supercomputing architecture, using up to 6400 nodes of the supercomputer Fugaku to assist a quantum computer with a Heron superconducting processor. We simulate the N2 triple bond breaking in a correlation-consistent cc-pVDZ basis set, and the active-space electronic structure of [2Fe-2S] and [4Fe-4S] clusters, using 58, 45 and 77 qubits respectively, with quantum circuits of up to 10570 (3590 2-qubit) quantum gates. We obtain our results using a class of quantum circuits that approximates molecular eigenstates, and a hybrid estimator. The estimator processes quantum samples, produces upper bounds to the ground-state energy and wavefunctions supported on a polynomial number of states. This guarantees an unconditional quality metric for quantum advantage, certifiable by classical computers at polynomial cost. For current error rates, our results show that classical distributed computing coupled to quantum computers can produce good approximate solutions for practical problems beyond sizes amenable to exact diagonalization.

Curating and Publishing Big Datasets Using CU Boulder High Performance Computing Infrastructure
Wednesday May 21, 2025 10:30am - 11:00am MDT
Publication of research datasets is now a requirement of most funding agencies and journals. Data curation is the process of ensuring that these datasets are findable, accessible, and usable. In the era of Big Data, the generation of datasets with sizes on the order of 100s of gigabytes and larger is increasingly common. Such large datasets create challenges for both the curation and publishing of data as they often cannot be accessed on standard computer hardware or hosted in traditional online repositories. This presentation provides an overview of a collaborative process between the CU Boulder Libraries and CU Boulder Research Computing in which high-performance computing infrastructure is used to curate and publish gigabyte- and terabyte-scale datasets in a manner that makes them accessible to the research community.
