Insider Brief Infleqtion has integrated its open-source qLDPC library with NVIDIA CUDA-Q Logical for quantum error correction research targeting fault-tolerant quantum computing. Using an early-access version of CUDA-Q Logical, Infleqtion researchers constructed and validated a high-rate error-correction code using approximately six physical data qubits per logical qubit. Infleqtion is extending the workflow toward physical execution … Read more

Insider Brief Qedma has integrated its QESEM quantum error mitigation software with NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q platform, initially supporting Quantinuum hardware. The integration allows CUDA-Q users to apply QESEM’s error mitigation capabilities within existing quantum workflows without changing their programming interface. Qedma said the integration is intended to help researchers run larger quantum workloads with improved accuracy … Read more

Insider Brief NVIDIA introduced CUDA-Q Logical, an open-source orchestration layer for designing and testing applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers. Iceberg Quantum used the platform to model 1,000 logical qubits with 150,000 physical qubits, about 10 times fewer than Diraq’s previous estimate. Fermilab cut the time needed to evaluate fault-tolerant system designs from about five months … Read more

Insider Brief Phasecraft and NVIDIA are combining hardware-adaptive quantum algorithms with NVIDIA accelerated computing to develop applications for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Under the Wellcome Leap Q4Bio program, the companies generated more than 3,000 VQE molecular emulations across 13 molecular systems and achieved a reported 15x simulation speedup over prior results. The work used NVIDIA Hopper … Read more

Insider Brief Middle Tennessee State University’s QRISE Center has welcomed its first eight graduate trainees through a five-year, $2 million NSF National Research Traineeship grant focused on quantum science and artificial intelligence. The program provides eligible students with tuition assistance, stipends, faculty mentorship and professional development opportunities aimed at preparing them for quantum computing and … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers entangled four qubits in a room-temperature diamond system about 10 times faster than with a conventional sequence of two-qubit gates. The parallel gate completed the operation in 14.8 microseconds with a fidelity of 0.92, compared with 0.69 for the sequential method. The approach could support more sensitive quantum sensors and more efficient … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers identified three quantum materials that could improve searches for extremely light dark matter by several orders of magnitude. Titanium diselenide, strontium ruthenate and hole-doped diamond host electronic excitations that could amplify the faint energy signals produced by dark matter interactions. T itanium diselenide and strontium ruthenate also offer directional sensitivity, which could … Read more
