Two new preprint studies from Google Quantum AI and Cornell University suggest quantum computers capable of breaking today’s encryption may arrive far sooner than expected, potentially before the end of this decade. Researchers say…
Google Quantum AI is inviting outsiders onto its most advanced quantum chip. The company launched the Willow Early Access Program this week, offering selected researchers exclusive access to its not-yet-public Willow processor to run…
Alice & Bob has completed GPU-accelerated decoding of its proprietary Elevator Codes in 1 hour 57 minutes via NVIDIA CUDA-Q integration, demonstrating practical error correction for biased noise cat qubits.
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have demonstrated universal fault-tolerant quantum computation using code-switching, achieving quadratic suppression of logical error rates.
The UK commits over £1 billion to quantum computing research as part of a broader £2 billion national strategy, citing national security urgency and the race to commercialise next-generation computing.
IQM and Zurich Instruments are building a real-time QEC demonstrator combining a 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer with NVIDIA NVQLink for enterprise and datacentre deployment.
IBM has released the industry’s first quantum-centric supercomputing reference architecture, outlining a three-layer blueprint for integrating quantum processors with classical HPC resources.
IBM and an international team have created the first molecule with half-Möbius electronic topology, validated by quantum simulation showing helical electron orbitals that classical computers cannot replicate.
A team has used quantum capacitance to read Majorana qubit states for the first time, confirming millisecond-scale parity coherence times that demonstrate the protected nature of topological qubits.
The United States has reclassified 18 advanced technologies including quantum computing as critical to national security, granting the Commerce Department new authority to control exports.
