IBM (NYSE: IBM) and researchers from the University of Chicago today announced a demonstration in quantum computing that achieves the fundamental criteria for quantum advantage: performing computations beyond the reach of leading classical simulation methods while providing trust that the computation returned accurate results.

Qedma Quantum Computing, a pioneer in quantum error reduction software and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a breakthrough study demonstrating how trusted, error-mitigated quantum computation is possible, and can be used to explore the physics of materials beyond the capabilities of state-of-the-art classical simulations, including those run on one of the world's most powerful supercomputers. By combining Qedma’s advanced error mitigation software, QESEM, with IBM quantum computers, researchers observed complex and long-lived quantum dynamics in systems of up to 74 qubits. This enabled them to reach a paradigm where multiple state-of-the-art classical approaches failed to provide consistent, reliable answers.

Algorithmiq and IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced a major milestone in the development of quantum computing: a joint demonstration of quantum advantage with the simulation of a heterogeneous quantum material, achieved with a new framework that establishes trust in quantum computations when classical verification is unavailable.
