Last night was the first night I genuinely couldn't sleep because I was so excited to get back to reading an AI-generated proof (of the Grothendieck homotopy hypothesis).
Hard not to feel shellshocked, of course, but the feeling of "touching the infinite" is pretty palpable.
Switzerland's building a post-quantum chip center while IonQ and Ansys are using quantum to speed up crash simulations. Meanwhile, someone in Chicago keeps claiming things that don't quite check out. We sort the real moves from the noise. Today's episode: https://t.co/iZgqo3UUc0
Humans have always found new ways to condense and disseminate their deepest and hardest-won expertise. In the Middle Ages it was oral, via disputation. Then it was written, via printed text. Then it was digital, via software.
Next it will be agentic, via domain-specific models.
A new study from @ORNL, @ClevelandClinic, and @IBM shows how quantum and classical computers can work together to model tritium chemistry in FLiBe molten salts—one of fusion's toughest simulation challenges: https://t.co/qdO9suHtfz

New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.
Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.
And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.
This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.
Quantum physics principles are fundamental to many real-life technologies, including lasers, MRI scanners, and the transistors that power all modern electronics. In the realm of artificial intelligence, quantum machine learning (QML) is an emerging field that harnesses quantum phenomena like superposition and entanglement. This allows for the processing of vast datasets and the solving of complex problems much faster than classical computers. QML has the potential to revolutionize areas such as drug discovery by simulating molecules, optimizing financial models, and enhancing pattern recognition.
The ability to reset a qubit at will is critical for scaling quantum computing. Our team has now shown this can be done with a dynamic range of more than four orders of magnitude. In the RESET OFF spot, the qubit maintains hundreds of microseconds of coherence, while in the RESET ON spot its lifetime drops below 100 ns. Just as important, we confirmed that neighboring qubits remain completely undisturbed during the reset. This is a key step toward fast, scalable quantum computing.

Quantum computing offers a radically new approach to modeling catalytic reactions, going beyond classical approximations to capture the full complexity of chemical dynamics. Our latest research with @Stanford lays out an end-to-end state-of-the-art framework to simulate real-time chemical reactions on a quantum computer, unlocking new possibilities for catalyst design, materials science, and cleaner energy solutions.
