ORNL researchers introduced LuGo, a QPE-oriented hybrid workflow that moves heavy initialization to classical HPC (Frontier) before quantum encoding, cutting gates from ~2,000,000 to ~91,000 for fluid-flow problems. Cross-platform checks used Quantinuum H-1 plus IBM and IQM devices via DOE user programs; work recognized with a 2026 R&D 100 Award and FGCS publication.
Practical depth reduction is what makes early quantum linear-system / CFD experiments runnable on noisy hardware.
