IonQ researchers have developed a new hybrid physical/logical execution strategy for quantum error correction, significantly accelerating fault-tolerant quantum computing. This approach, detailed in a recent arXiv paper, utilizes scheduled qLDPC error correction and an adapted Logical Clifford Noise Reduction (CliNR) scheme. The innovation has achieved speedups of up to 74-fold…
IonQ is set to acquire Elisity for up to $1.3 billion in an all-stock deal, integrating Elisity's Zero Trust cybersecurity with IonQ's post-quantum cryptography. This acquisition, expected to close in Q4 2026, aims to enhance IonQ's security offerings, addressing "harvest now, decrypt later" vulnerabilities and federal PQC mandates. Elisity will…
IBM Quantum has launched a new directed execution model with the Executor primitive in qiskit-ibm-runtime v0.50.0. This framework shifts error mitigation to the client side, giving researchers greater control over quantum error correction (QEC) workflows. It allows for custom control over circuit transformations and error-correction pipelines, improving efficiency and transparency…
