PSI Research System Solves 18-Year-Old Quantum Computing Conjecture in Three Days

PSI Research System Solves 18-Year-Old Quantum Computing Conjecture in Three Days

A U.S. firm, PSI, claims its research system has solved the 18-year-old Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture in just three days. This conjecture, first proposed in 2008, concerns the conditions under which quantum computers can achieve an exponential speed advantage over classical computers. PSI stated that its system, utilizing a non-public model from Anthropic running on the company’s infrastructure, produced a mathematical proof. This proof was subsequently accepted by Lean, a software tool designed to verify formal mathematical arguments. The company further reported that the system improved the proof twice, with Lean accepting the final version. While researchers at Stanford University have provided feedback on aspects of the work, the proof has not yet undergone full independent academic review. The conjecture specifically addresses whether quantum algorithms with a particular mathematical structure can be efficiently approximated by classical computers, suggesting that if it holds, classical computers could...

ORNL, IBM, and AMD Launch Quantum Error Correction Co-Design Platform

ORNL, IBM, and AMD Launch Quantum Error Correction Co-Design Platform

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), IBM, and AMD have jointly launched a co-design platform for quantum error correction (QEC) at IBM's Poughkeepsie, New York site. This platform aims to accelerate classical and quantum workflows for scientifically relevant quantum computing. The initiative pairs IBM Quantum Nighthawk processors with ORNL’s Umbra, a high-performance computing (HPC) system featuring AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs. This co-located environment is also linked to ORNL's broader supercomputing ecosystem. The platform allows researchers to develop and validate quantum algorithms and workflows in a hybrid HPC-quantum computing setting, addressing the challenge of integrating quantum and classical computing resources that are typically separate.

IBM, Oak Ridge National Lab, and AMD Launch Quantum Error Correction Co-Design Platform

IBM, Oak Ridge National Lab, and AMD Launch Quantum Error Correction Co-Design Platform

IBM, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy-funded Quantum Science Center (QSC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and AMD, has unveiled a new co-design platform for quantum error correction. This initiative integrates quantum and high-performance computing to accelerate the development of a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028, aligning with the DOE's Quantum Genesis Mission. The platform co-locates IBM's quantum computers, including the 120-qubit IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, with ORNL's Umbra High-Performance Computing (HPC) system. The Umbra system is powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, providing the classical computing foundation for research into quantum error correction, decoding optimization, and software orchestration. This collaboration aims to address the challenge of scaling quantum error correction by tightly integrating classical and quantum computing resources.

PsiQuantum Secures U.S. Government Funding for Quantum Computing Development

PsiQuantum Secures U.S. Government Funding for Quantum Computing Development

PsiQuantum, a company focused on building fault-tolerant quantum computers, has secured significant funding from the U.S. government. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act. This was followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, marking PsiQuantum's most substantial U.S. government agreement to date. The company's approach is based on silicon photonics, leveraging advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. Photonics offers advantages for scalability, as photons are immune to electromagnetic interference and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and fiber-optic infrastructure. PsiQuantum's technology has undergone rigorous scrutiny by the U.S. government for emerging technologies. The company also closed a $1 billion funding round in 2025, valuing it at $7 billion, and has begun construction on a utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, while expanding its C...

IBM Unveils First Quantum Computer in Illinois, Anchoring National Quantum Algorithm Center

IBM Unveils First Quantum Computer in Illinois, Anchoring National Quantum Algorithm Center

IBM has unveiled its first quantum computer in Illinois, the IBM Quantum System Two, at Hyde Park Labs in Chicago. This advanced quantum computer, driven by the IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, is intended to anchor the National Quantum Algorithm Center and establish Illinois as a hub for quantum innovation. Initially installed at the University of Chicago’s commercial research and development facility, the system will eventually relocate to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on the city’s South Side. This development follows a December 2024 announcement by IBM and the state regarding plans for the National Quantum Algorithm Center at IQMP. IBM Quantum System Two computers are already operational in New York, Japan, and Spain, with more installations planned. The technology operates at a subatomic level, aiming to process complex calculations in seconds that would take conventional computers years.
