IBM teams with Israel's Qedma for quantum breakthrough

IBM teams with Israel's Qedma for quantum breakthrough Image: Primary
IBM today reports a scientific breakthrough that also has considerable commercial potential: With the help of the software and algorithms of the Israeli company Qedma IBM surpassed the performance of the world's most powerful supercomputer with 700,000 core processors using its quantum computer, to conduct a complex experiment in the field of physics. The experiment was conducted by IBM on a quantum chip that it developed using superconducting technology, which contains 72 physical qubits. Qedma's software was able to neutralize that noise during the experiment, providing IBM with a scope of calculation never before seen in scientific experiments, equivalent to 74 logical qubits. Being in two places at the same time To examine the results of the physical test, similar work was conducted with a computer from US company company Quantinuum that operates in a completely different way from IBM: quantum computing based on the manipulation of trapped ions. The results were identical, which gave confidence to the people at IBM and Qedma, who are now preparing to publish this as a scientific study in one of the major scientific journals.
