The University of Chicago along with the University of Tokyo will receive $150 million from IBM and Google for #quantum computing research in an effort to lead the competition. The Wall Street Journal Chicago Quantum Exchange wsj.com/articles/ibm-g…

Jon Hamm's got a message for Missouri: If you want to be told about "Manhood," Josh Hawley wrote a book about it. But if you want a Marine veteran fighting for you and everyday Missourians in the U.S. Senate, then join us: LucasKunce.com

Can you improve a well known quantum code by only subtracting things? Turns out yes! Bacon-Shor's lack of threshold can be fixed by deleting the right pattern of gates from its circuit. Weird! Read about it in "Less bacon more threshold": arxiv.org/abs/2305.12046

This past weekend marked a historic moment for quantum computing - an exciting partnership between the U.S. and Japan to aid in the advancement of this critical technology for the future. Additional details: goo.gle/42JZtXi Photo credit: White House

Nice work Clelanders! Here’s their new paper in Science: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… arxiv.org/abs/2302.07791

Check out our latest preprint Google Quantum AI pushing the surface code to the next level! - Below threshold (Λ > 2) - Distance-7 logical qubit, 0.0014 error per cycle, >2x better than physical qubits - Explore 10^-10 error regime with repetition codes arxiv.org/abs/2408.13687

Today we're introducing our new quantum chip, Willow! Willow is our first below-threshold quantum processor, which you can now read about in Nature t.ly/q7mVH. Kevin Satzinger and I also wrote a blog about it t.ly/gEaQA. TLDR: QEC is blasting off. 🚀🚀🚀

Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would

Researchers in Cleland Lab at the The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, including alumnus Haoxiong Yan, PhD candidate Xuntao Wu, and Prof. Andrew Cleland, have realized a new design for a superconducting #quantum processor. pme.uchicago.edu/news/rethinkin…

Congratulations to all who contributed to the advances in quantum error correction recognized by the Physics World Breakthrough of the Year. physicsworld.com/a/two-advances…

But wait, there's more! Check out this paper on dynamic circuit implementations of the surface code, such as compiling to iSwap gates. Congratulations Alec Eickbusch Matt McEwen Alexis Morvan and the whole team at Google Quantum AI! arxiv.org/abs/2412.14360
