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.

Anthropic launches research preview of Model Hardware Standard for AI-controlled lab equipment

Anthropic, working with HHMI Janelia Research Campus, has begun a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a specification letting AI agents safely control physical lab and manufacturing devices like microscopes, liquid handlers and robotic arms. The standard is being shared with a first group of research labs and manufacturers before it becomes open source, and it works with any device with a programmable interface using protocols such as Model Context Protocol.
