Qedma & HQC² achieve 30-50× error reduction in quantum chemistry via QESEM software on IBM's superconducting processor, reaching chemical accuracy for molecular energy calculations.
Researchers quantified how microwave crosstalk from densely packed control lines constrains quantum processor scaling. Critical wiring pitch of 0.23mm sets a physical limit: a 30mm² processor achieves ~300 qubits at 99.9% two-qubit gate fidelity.
Researchers at MIT used AI to autonomously perform calibration and measurement routines on superconducting qubits, freeing researchers from hands-on lab work to focus on experiment design, data analysis, and strategic planning.
University of Amsterdam (@uva.nl) is hiring:

IQM and VTT's 300-qubit superconducting system (arriving late 2026) demonstrates how co-development partnerships drive quantum error correction research and enable hybrid quantum-HPC integration, advancing Europe's quantum computing capabilities.
University quantum education should expose students to real quantum hardware alongside simulators to understand physical noise and limitations. Students learn most when experiencing the gap between ideal circuits and experimental reality.
A collaboration between Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM has been selected as a finalist for the 2026 ACM Gordon Bell Prize, likely for quantum simulation or high-performance computing applications involving 12,000+ atoms.
