IBM and AMD Advance Hybrid Quantum Computing

IBM says a key quantum error-correction algorithm now runs in real time on standard AMD FPGA chips - reportedly 10x faster than required - pulling hybrid quantum-classical computing forward and spotlighting AMD’s role in the stack. IBM reiterated its road map toward a fault-tolerant “Starling” system by 2029.
