In "Language models can identify enzymatic binding sites in protein sequences", we identify binding site positions based on SMILES and protein AA sequences. Compared to predictions based on PFAM alignments, we significantly lower the false-positive rate. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Amazed by nature's beauty. This stunning butterfly adds a touch of magic to an early autumn day. 🌸🦋

Last week, we officially launched Phase II at our kick-off meeting in Bern with PIs and delegates 🚀 Very grateful to our team for preparing exciting sessions on our grand research & structure-related challenges and to all for contributing to lively discussions! 🙏🏻

We’re excited to shape Phase II, and to grow deep roots & tall branches as a team - not just metaphorically! 2024 🌱 ➡️ 2028 🪴 Swiss National Science Foundation ETH Zurich D-CHAB EPFL EPFL Chemistry

Phase II of NCCR is in full bloom! 🌱 Excited to nurture this journey and watch it flourish. Stay tuned for what’s next! NCCR Catalysis IBM Research Swiss National Science Foundation

Honored to attend the Global Conference on AI & the Chemical Weapons Convention in Rabat, Morocco. AI offers immense potential to strengthen OPCW’s mission, with responsibility and the right governance. Grateful to the Moroccan Diplomacy 🇲🇦 & OPCW for organizing this critical event.

📖Book Chapter Alert! “Language Models in Molecular Discovery” (link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…) is a deep dive into how language models can be used to accelerate molecular discovery, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.

Together with Jannis Born Teodoro Laino Tim & Sarath, this chapter also provides great pointers to software tools for anyone who’d like to get started with molecular discovery! And as a bonus, a sneak peek into Chemchat, our vision for the future of molecular design 😉

I had been meaning to try Cursor for a few weeks and I finally did so today. As a toy example, I asked it to generate a GUI for rxnmapper. It generated a working streamlit app in just a few turns. Super cool!

A few months ago we shared how our Relay-BP algorithm advanced qLDPC decoding. Now we’ve taken the next step—bringing real-time decoding to hardware. We built an FPGA-based Relay-BP decoder for the gross code that fits on a single AMD VU19P and achieves over 8× faster than

We just entangled 120 qubits — the largest entangled state ever achieved on a quantum computer. Read the full letter here: arxiv.org/abs/2510.09520…

Last week at #QDC25 we unveiled major updates to dynamic circuits — one of the most powerful tools for bringing real-time classical logic directly into quantum execution. The result: faster mid-circuit measurement, ~600 ns feedforward, parallel conditional ops, better timing

Today, IBM and Cisco announce plans to collaborate on laying the groundwork for a distributed quantum computing network: ibm.co/6011B3DXS Our first milestone: entangling a pair of cryogenically separated quantum processors within the next five years.
