Episode notes
- IBM achieved a landmark in physical verification by using a 50-qubit Heron processor to simulate the magnetic dynamics of potassium copper fluoride, benchmarking the results directly against raw experimental neutron data rather than classical approximations.
- Fujitsu and Osaka University announced the STAR architecture version three, which integrates phase rotation gates to reduce the physical resource requirements for complex chemical energy calculations by 15 to 80 times, potentially making industrial-grade simulations feasible within 24 to 36 months.
- Google accelerated the global cybersecurity timeline by mandating a 2029 deadline for migrating its internal and customer systems to post-quantum cryptography, citing the urgent need to defend against "store-now-decrypt-later" ...
