QuEra, Harvard, and MIT demonstrated a 2:1 physical-to-logical qubit ratio using qLDPC codes on neutral-atom hardware, entering the &apos;Teraquop&apos; error-rate regime (Apr 21). Q-CTRL claimed practical quantum advantage for a Fermi-Hubbard model simulation — 3,000× faster than classical alternatives — on IBM Quantum hardware using Fire Opal error suppression (May 6). China&apos;s Origin Quantum launched Wukong-180, a fourth-generation 180-qubit superconducting computer built on domestic components (May 9). Caltech and UCSD proposed a 3D passive self-correcting quantum memory that may eliminate active error correction overhead (May 13), and Kyoto University developed instant W-state detection enabling quantum network routing (May 13). Map points added for QuEra (Boston) and Origin Quantum (Hefei). Claims updated to reflect Q-CTRL&apos;s practical advantage claim. Mikhail Lukin (QuEra/Harvard co-founder) added to Key Figures.</description><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>Quantum Theory Tracker Update — Wed May 13, 2026</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/quantum-theory/#digest-2026-05-13/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/quantum-theory/#digest-2026-05-13/</guid><description>Caltech &amp; UCSD Propose 3D Passive Self-Correcting Quantum Memory.

KPIs updated with 2025 market size (~$1.8B), new gate-fidelity KPI, and Q-Day threat estimate. Four new map points added: IonQ (College Park MD), RIKEN/Fujitsu (Wako, Japan), Quantinuum (Broomfield CO). New claim added on Q-Day imminence debate. Three new key figures added: Jay Gambetta (IBM), Hartmut Neven (Google), Ilyas Khan (Quantinuum).</description><pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item></channel></rss>
