All the witnesses at this hearing eloquently emphasized that continuing to advance fundamental quantum science will be essential for the success of the quantum industry. Thank you!

Thank you, Jay. All the credit for this work goes to my brilliant co-authors Roland Farrell, Nikita Zemlevskiy, and Marc Illa. We still have far to go, but as quantum platforms advance they will become increasingly valuable as tools for scientific discovery.

Bringing our first Heron R3 QPU online: ibm_pittsburgh, inside an IBM Quantum System Two in Poughkeepsie, NY. R3 isn’t a redesign—it’s precision refinement. And it shows: • T1: 300 µs • T2: 370 µs • 2Q gate error: ~5×10⁻⁴ (our best yet) • Layered gate error 100Q: 3.2×10⁻³

Undergrad Caltech Yiyi Cai has done research in our group for two years, including a senior thesis. She'll be a Gates Cambridge Scholar for a year, followed by PhD studies in computer science Stanford University. Congratulations, Yiyi, you'll be missed!

Andrew Houck, Director of the Co-Design Center for Quantum Advantage, makes an eloquent case for the value of the National Quantum Initiative Quantum Research Centers. Hey Congress, how's that reauthorization coming along? share.transistor.fm/s/9256a60d

Just attended an electrifying session by Prof. John Preskill at #QGSS25! ⚛️ His talk, "Feynman’s Dream: Simulating Nature with Quantum Machines", was nothing short of inspiring. Qiskit IBM #QuantumComputing #Qiskit
