IBM and researchers from the University of Chicago have achieved verifiable quantum advantage by encoding 70 logical qubits using novel error correction techniques to solve a classically intractable problem in roughly 15 minutes. By moving beyond unverified benchmarks like random circuit sampling, this milestone establishes trusted computation on logical circuits while openly releasing data for community validation via the Quantum Advantage Tracker. This progress is critical for transitioning quantum systems from experimental demonstrations to reliable tools capable of outperforming classical supercomputers on practical tasks.
IBM & Chicago Verify Quantum Advantage With New Error Correction

IBM and The University of Chicago demonstrate quantum advantage, establishing trusted quantum computation on logical circuits 302838890. Scientists used a new error correction method to encode 70 logical qubits and crack a classically intractable problem in approximately 15 minutes.
IBM and researchers from The University of Chicago report achieving quantum advantage by completing a complex computation in approximately 15 minutes, a task requiring infeasible time for even the most powerful classical computers. The team encoded 70 logical qubits using a new…
