I'm working on classical simulation of quantum computers using tensor networks. Basically trying to push the frontier of quantum advantage / supremacy from the classical side.
BSC is fun due to its interdisciplinarity. I do quantum and HPC, but I have friends working on iron deposition on the seas (i.e. climate change), nuclear fusion simulations of a tokamak, large scale scientific visualization, protein folding and synthesis, ...
The European Chips Act is also coordinated from there so there is a ton of people working on hardware design (specifically RISC-V).
