Researchers have successfully demonstrated that current noisy quantum hardware can classify neutrino telescope data with accuracy comparable to traditional methods, validating practical applications in high-energy physics. By directly implementing neural projected quantum kernels on simulators and the IBM Strasbourg processor, this work bypasses purely theoretical simulations and addresses critical challenges like encoding large feature spaces. The study marks a significant step toward utilizing quantum machine learning for analyzing rare cosmic phenomena without relying solely on classical computing architectures.

Researchers classify neutrino events with a quantum computer

Quantum ZeitgeistAugust 23, 20265 min read

Researchers at UPV/EHU, Harvard, & TECNALIA are using quantum computers to classify events detected by neutrino telescopes, as detailed in Quantum Science and Technology.

Researchers have achieved testing accuracy near 80% with the NPQK and approximately 70% accuracy with the QCNN in classifying events detected by neutrino telescopes using a quantum computer, a result comparable to traditional methods. Pablo Rodriguez-Grasa, University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU and colleagues demonstrated this capability by investigating neural projected quantum kernels and quantum convolutional neural networks. This work, published August 21, 2026, in Quantum Science and Technology, Number 4, establishes the feasibility of applying quantum machine learning to astronomical data analysis with current hardware. The study explores how quantum computers can distinguish between different types of neutrino events, crucial for understanding rare cosmic…
