Q-CTRL Claims First Practical Quantum Advantage for Materials Science
Q-CTRL announces evidence of practical quantum advantage for materials science — simulation of the Fermi-Hubbard model — using IBM Quantum hardware with its Fire Opal error suppression software. The quantum processor completed the task in ~2 minutes vs. over 100 hours for the best classical simulation. The experiment ran on 120 qubits with a 60% reduction in two-qubit gate count.
