- IBM and partners claim quantum advantage with three demonstrations on Heron chip, meeting criteria of accuracy, cost, and validation.
- Algorithmiq simulated real-world disordered materials; classical systems could not reproduce results after eight months.
- Qedma simulated externally driven materials; quantum system ran in 7 hours vs. classical needing 700,000 CPU hours.
- University of Chicago created structured alternative to random circuit sampling, running 70 logical qubits with error correction in 16 minutes.
