DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Alejandro Lopez-Bezanilla (Los Alamos National Lab)\
 n\nNumerous materials display complex magnetic behavior that emerges from 
 how spins—tiny atomic magnets—interact across lattice patterns such as
  fractal\, Lieb\, and Kagome structures. Simulating these interactions on 
 conventional computers can be challenging because the number of possible m
 agnetic configurations grows rapidly with system size. Quantum annealers o
 ffer a promising alternative. Their qubits behave like controllable magnet
 ic moments\, allowing the hardware to physically reproduce the same equati
 ons that govern real magnetic systems. In this presentation\, I will descr
 ibe recent advances that allow us to translate materials lattice models in
 to forms directly compatible with quantum annealer hardware\, enabling the
  device to operate as a laboratory for exploring frustrated magnetism. Our
  results show that quantum annealing can capture key magnetic features of 
 these geometries\, demonstrating a practical path for studying and underst
 anding magnetic materials using today’s quantum technology.\n\nhttps://e
