IonQ Researchers Say ‘Walking Cat’ Blueprint Could Lead to Machines That Run Millions of Gates on Thousands of Qubits
Insider Brief A team of researchers at IonQ has published a technical blueprint for a fault-tolerant quantum computer built on trapped ions, describing an architecture they contend could execute millions of quantum operations on hundreds of logical qubits using only a few thousand physical particles. They add it’s a design that’s achievable with hardware already […]
QC Design Launches Gauge for Optimal Quantum Error Correction Benchmarking
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Today QC Design announced the launch of Gauge, an extension of its Plaquette platform that determines the optimal fault-tolerance threshold for a given quantum error correction code and noise model. Gauge computes the best achievable error-correction threshold across all decoding strategies by mapping the decoding problem onto a statistical mechanical […]

Quantum Researchers Find Faster Path to Practical Advantage, Challenge Assumptions About Architecture Design
Insider Brief A new study finds a way to make early fault-tolerant quantum computers run up to three times faster without adding more physical qubits, and concludes that a leading design strategy used by the field is slower and more costly than previously believed. The research, published as an arXiv preprint by scientists from Duke […]
Pennsylvania Universities and Commonwealth Leaders Launch Keystone AI + Quantum Factory
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Pennsylvania’s seven research intensive universities* have joined forces with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Team Pennsylvania to launch the Keystone AI + Quantum Factory. The Keystone AI + Quantum Factory is a statewide innovation network leveraging AI and quantum computing to translate […]
Ion Clock Experiments Reveal Time Can Go Quantum
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein’s theory of relativity, time is not absolute: its passage depends on motion and gravity. But when combined with quantum physics, this relativistic form of time becomes even more counterintuitive. According to quantum theory, the flow of […]
