September 3, 2026 — 100,000 Circuits a Second: IBM's Speed Bet
Episode 57
Published 1 month ago
Description
IBM's Nighthawk r2 claims a twenty-five-fold jump in quantum circuit throughput via a redesigned reset architecture — we dig into whether that speed actually narrows the gap to quantum advantage. Plus: PsiQuantum partners with Brookhaven Lab, Rigetti and Purdue speed up classical optimization, MIT redesigns the qubit, Quobly signs two European deals, and an unverified quantum-router claim out of China.
