IBM's Triple Quantum Advantage Claim Faces the Tracker

About this episode

IBM rolls out three coordinated quantum advantage demonstrations — with Algorithmiq, the University of Chicago, and Qedma — and opens them to public, independent verification. Meanwhile IonQ clears its last hurdle to close a $1.8 billion foundry deal, a D-Wave/Quip thread stirs debate over verifiable optimization results, a new prethermal-dynamics preprint enters the same advantage contest, quantum stocks keep sliding, and QED-C publishes a quantum networking roadmap.
