  •  🎉 A Groundbreaking Achievement in Quantum Simulation: Exploring Many-Body Quantum Chaos on a quantum computer 🎉 In collaboration with IBM and Trinity College Dublin, we have successfully demonstrated the power of Algorithmiq’s Tensor-Network Error Mitigation, revealing its full potential for state-of-the-art scientific exploration. An incredible milestone made possible by the dedication and hard work of all teams involved, as well as the power of #algorithmiq's technology. ☄️ In our study, “Dynamical Simulations of Many-Body Quantum Chaos on a Quantum Computer", we used advanced error mitigation and noise-learning methods to achieve accurate simulations of maximally chaotic circuits, even beyond exact verification by perturbing away from the dual unitary point, on an IBM Quantum’s Eagle device using 91 qubits and over 4000 entangling gates—a major step forward. Our findings emphasize that error-mitigated #quantum simulations are now reliable tools for probing novel emergent quantum many-body phases on today’s quantum hardware. 🚀 Here’s to pushing the boundaries of quantum discovery! 🌌  #QuantumComputing #QuantumSimulation #ErrorMitigation #IBMQuantum Thanks to the authors E.

    “Quantum chemistry before quantum computing had hit a wall. At Algorithmiq, I rediscovered a field I loved and the possibility to explore previously unsolvable problems.” This is how Martina Stella, Senior Life Sciences/Quantum Chemistry Researcher at Algorithmiq, describes how she decided to join us, after meeting our CEO Sabrina Maniscalco. What makes Algorithmiq so attractive to experts like Martina? She summarizes it this way: our rigorous and scientifically grounded approach paired with industry-leading visionary enthusiasm and ambition. 🚀🌌 As a Life Sciences Researcher, Martina thinks that the best #quantumcomputing applications in life sciences are those addressing problems requiring high accuracy and where the power of classical computation is very close to its limit. For example, one of the use cases where near-term quantum computers can be useful is drug optimization. 🧬🔬 Specifically, Martina has been working with the rest of the team on one class of drugs used in photodynamic chemotherapy with the goal of optimizing the molecules and, therefore, making chemotherapy less toxic and more effective. 💊💉👨⚕️ Not only does this have the potential to make drugs less taxing on patients, but it could also mean that the process of developing better drugs could become much easier, shorter, and less risky. With quantum computers, we can unlock much higher predictive power that will make the development and clinical trial phases less long and complicated. 🏥

  • Why is quantum chemistry hard? What is the role of quantum computers in accurately predicting the behavior of molecules? And how can we achieve quantum advantage in chemistry? 🧪🔬 These are only some of the questions that our Chief Scientific Officer Guillermo García-Pérez tackled last week at the IBM Quantum Partner Forum during his session. ⚗️ 🧫 The IBM Quantum Partner Forum brings together #quantumcomputing practitioners from around the world to discuss the challenges and potential of quantum use cases. Quantum chemistry is a particularly fruitful field for #quantum applications, as the limitations of classical computers are already quite apparent. 💻📱🖥️ But this is not simply about research: by solving #quantumchemistry problems, we can significantly improve the drug discovery process and completely overturn the way drugs are discovered, tested, and released to the public. 🩺🏥💊 If you work in healthcare and life sciences, this is the future that quantum technologies and research can bring to the forefront.

  • “We are confident quantum advantage will happen in the next two years…but advantage is not something we will find alone”. This is how IBM introduced the annual IBM Quantum Partner Forum, which started yesterday in London, and we couldn’t agree more. 🤝👥🔗 Our CTO Matteo Rossi and Chief Scientific Officer Guillermo García-Pérez will join the largest quantum community in the world at this exclusive event for IBM Quantum Network’s members, where #quantumcomputing practitioners and experts will share their journey towards quantum advantage. 💠🦾 How can IBM partners leverage both quantum hardware and software to enable algorithm discovery and identify quantum advantages in their fields? What are the optimal ways to test the potential of #quantum for specific use cases? In which stage of the roadmap are we? How can we educate the rest of the world and build the skills required for the quantum revolution? These are just some of the conversations that we are looking forward to being a part of. 🗨️🤔💭 As for Algorithmiq, we will showcase the potential of our quantum solution to revolutionise healthcare and life sciences, particularly when it concerns quantum chemistry and drug discovery. If you are attending, feel free to reach out to Guillermo and Matteo to learn more about unlocking quantum advantage in chemistry and identifying quantum use cases in your field. See you there!

  • Can quantum technologies make a tangible impact now, or are we still far away from practical application? Is industry’s influence on academic research driving progress or limiting fundamental exploration? These are some of the questions that will be tackled at the #quantumcomputing Industry Roundtable at the International Conference on Quantum Energy (ICQE).🔋💠 Tomorrow, our CEO Sabrina Maniscalco will join Andrea Tabacchini, PhD, Marco Barbieri, Michael Marthaler, Olivier Ezratty, and Tiago Mendes Santos to explore the role of quantum science and technology in energy management. If you want to help shape the conversation, you still have time to submit your questions for the Q&A portion. 🎤💬👥 ICQE 2025 will be hosted by the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Università degli Studi di Padova in partnership with the Quantum Energy Initiative, the Quantum Information and Matter group, and Padua QTech Centre. To celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, #ICQE2025 will include a focus session on quantum computing and simulation, but the program will also cover quantum thermodynamics, charge and energy transport, light harvesting and photochemistry, energy storage, quantum chemistry, ultrafast optical spectroscopy, and more. 💡🌟🔆 Can #quantum help solve urgent energy challenges and help us achieve sustainable development goals? This is one of the key questions that we will address with experts from both academia and industry.

  • The long history of thermodynamics as a scientific discipline saw a significant acceleration with the advent of steam engines during the first Industrial Revolution and the need to make them as efficient as possible. Put simply, thermodynamics deals with the interaction of heat, temperature, and energy. 🚂 🌡️ 🪫 Today, we’re venturing slightly off our usual #algolearning quantum computing path... or so it seems! But the truth is, no physical theory escapes the long reach of thermodynamics, and quantum physics is certainly no exception. But how do the concepts of heat and temperature translate to #quantum systems? 🔍 Enter quantum thermodynamics —a field that asks profound questions like: How can we control heat at the quantum scale? Can we make sense of thermodynamic laws in the realm of superpositions and entanglement? As we build smaller and smaller machines, approaching the atomic scale, quantum effects begin to dominate. Understanding how heat flows and transforms in this regime isn’t just a theoretical curiosity: it’s key to making quantum devices practical and efficient. 🔥 Because one thing is for sure, quantum physics must go hand in hand with thermodynamics. As cosmologist Sir Arthur Eddington said, “If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell’s equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell’s equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics, I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.“ 💥 Quantum thermodynamics is, by default, a broad field that brings together a pretty diverse group of experts, many interested in exploring the idea that quantum effects could be exploited to improve thermodynamic performance.

  • “The quantum era is not 15 to 30 years away. It is not three to five. The truth is the quantum era has already begun.” This is a quote from Vimal Kapur and Rajeeb Hazra’s recent article from TIME and a great introduction to our latest #quantum news roundup. 🗞️ 🦾 The Quantum Insider highlighted our participation in the Quantum for Good track at the AI for Good Global Summit, which is designed to align quantum innovation with global development priorities with a focus on equity, access, and impact. 🦾 In The Daily Qubit, Cierra Choucair announced our upcoming presence at the International Conference on Quantum Energy (ICQE) in Padua, Italy where we will join conversations around quantum’s role in energy efficiency, materials discovery, and sustainable infrastructure design. 🦾 The World Economic Forum showcased Algorithmiq as one of the winners of the Quantum for Sustainability challenge, including this quote by Boris Sokolov, one of our co-founders. “Drug development requires solving difficult problems in chemistry – and being quantum by definition, it’s an apparent yet intricate use case for quantum computers. These machines have the capability to efficiently represent and simulate molecules, the structure of which otherwise requires exponential amount of regular memory and compute time.” 🦾 Barrington James discussed our history and strategy as part of their Company Spotlight series, and we were featured with other cutting-edge #quantumcomputing companies during NVIDIA’s keynote at COMPUTEX 2025, where Jensen Huang predicted the advent of quantum supercomputing. As the TIME article wisely put it, “despite those who say this technology’s time is not yet now, the fact is the quantum train is leaving the station.” Ready to step on board? 🚄
