US CLIVAR opens quantum-computing and sensing workshop for weather and climate

The workshop brings together research on quantum sensing, Earth-system modelling and early noisy intermediate-scale quantum experiments. The agenda also includes quantum approaches to differential equations, physics-informed neural networks and satellite-constellation optimisation. It is a research workshop, not evidence of operational quantum advantage in forecasting.

Impact: climate and space organisations gain a clearer problem map for hybrid classical–quantum experimentation, while near-term procurement should remain tied to reproducible advantage on defined workloads.
