Insider Brief
BlueQubit, Qedma, IBM, and RIKEN demonstrated an error-mitigated quantum simulation of a Floquet Ising model that was compared against advanced classical computing methods.
The study used IBM’s Heron quantum processor with Qedma’s QESEM software and evaluated results against classical simulations run on Fugaku and GPU-based systems.
The researchers reported that the validated quantum approach produced consistent results for a problem where tested classical methods could not reach agreement at larger scales.
Press release – When will meaningful applications of quantum computers arrive? The standard answer has been at least five to ten years, while we wait for fully fault-tolerant hardware with millions of qubits. A new landmark study disagrees, saying Quantum Advantage is already here.
