Insider Brief
IBM and Qedma demonstrated an error-mitigated quantum computation workflow using IBM Quantum Heron processors and Qedma’s QESEM software to study a 74-qubit physics model.
The study compared quantum results against classical simulation methods, including simulations run on the Fugaku supercomputer, and found consistent quantum results beyond the range where classical approaches agreed.
The collaboration used validation techniques across quantum platforms to demonstrate a framework for trusted quantum computation in scientific applications.
Press release – 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.
