Quantum error mitigation and correction aren't separate paths. They're part of a continuum. Our latest blog explores hybrid QEM/QEC methods that can improve reliability while reducing sampling overhead on the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing:

Quantum mechanics is seen as challenging the idea that science provides objective descriptions of reality outside of our minds. The “measurement problem” seems to suggest that the act of observation creates the outcome that is observed. But physicist Antony Valentini argues that this picture rests on an enormous blunder by Erwin Schrödinger. After Louis de Broglie predicted the wave-like trajectories of particles, Schrödinger found the equation describing this. But whereas de Broglie envisaged particles riding on waves, Schrödinger kept the waves and threw away the particles. That single decision birthed the measurement problem—and it was completely unnecessary. Resurrect de Broglie’s original particle-based theory, Valentini argues, and we can dispel quantum mystery.

Quantum World Congress is just around the corner! We’ve lived and breathed quantum in College Park for over a decade. So we're thrilled to welcome members of the global quantum ecosystem here next week. Hear from our CEO @NiccoloDeMasi at his keynote on Thurs, Sept. 24. And meet with leaders including: 🔸 Inder M. Singh, CFO and COO 🔸 Robert Cardillo, Executive Chairman of IonQ Federal 🔸 Dean Acosta, Chief Corporate Affairs & Government Relations Officer 🔸 @jordan_shapiro, President, Quantum Platform Quantum is not just progressing—it’s accelerating—and we can’t wait to share insights from our backyard. What happens next changes everything. See you when you get here. #IonQ# #QuantumIsNow# #FutureOfQuantum# #QWC2026# #QuantumWorldCongress#

Quantum has entered the era of semiconductor engineering. Scaling quantum to fault-tolerance is no longer a scientific hurdle, it’s an engineering and manufacturing challenge. Due to its speed and agility, SkyWater Technology, more than any other foundry, provides highly unique capabilities suited to quantum engineering in this era. 🔸 Its cycles for fabricating 256-qubit wafers are 3x faster 🔸 It’s delivering 12x more wafer lots every 6 months for IonQ 🔸 It has 5 prototypes in parallel production 🔸 It expects over 100 learning cycles per year IonQ and SkyWater: Better together. These are highly tangible examples of how Skywater has accelerated IonQ’s manufacturing speed and throughput.

Quantum computing is advancing fast. But as Eclipse Partner @Sethwinterroth tells @FastCompany, the milestone that matters is practical quantum advantage: Solving a commercially useful problem classical computing can’t. When that happens, the race won’t just be between companies. Quantum will become a strategic capability shaping economics, security, and geopolitics. More from Seth on what to watch next:
