IBM and University of Chicago demonstrate quantum advantage with verifiable 70-qubit result

IBM and University of Chicago researchers used a new error-correction technique to encode 70 logical qubits and complete a random circuit sampling task in roughly 15 minutes, a computation that would take leading classical supercomputers an impractical amount of time. The team also designed a more structured circuit approach to verify that the quantum output was actually correct, addressing a longstanding challenge in confirming quantum results once problems exceed classical checking ability. The circuits and data have been published via the Quantum Advantage Tracker.

Researchers Build Quantum Battery That Charges Faster With More Molecules

Scientists led by James Quach have demonstrated a quantum battery that exploits 'superabsorption,' a collective quantum effect where molecules synchronize their energy absorption rather than acting independently. This causes the charging rate to increase as more molecules are added, defying the classical expectation that each unit absorbs energy at a fixed, independent rate.
