New Quantum Computing Landscape for 2026 from @sejaques: sam-jaques.appspot.com/quantum_landsc…

The conversation at this group dinner was remarkably philosophical—about whether math is invented or discovered, what makes for taste in physics research, whom AI can and can't replace, etc. You should join us for dinner more often, @FelixBinder! @JointQuICS

Happy birthday to Glenn T. Seaborg (1912–1999), Berkeley Lab Associate Director-at-Large and Nobel Prize–winning chemist. He co-discovered plutonium (Pu) and helped expand the periodic table, including element seaborgium (Sg), named in his honor. #PeriodicTable #ScienceHistory

Millions of patients each year arrive in emergency departments with chest pain, and too many land in a diagnostic gray zone. In a recent fireside chat, Dr. Jeff Bander, Chief of Cardiology at Mount Sinai West, shares how magnetocardiography (MCG) is poised to change that. By measuring the heart’s magnetic signals, MCG offers a non-invasive way to detect cardiac events earlier, reduce unnecessary admissions, and improve emergency department workflows—producing more accurate, undistorted 3D maps than ECG-based approaches and revealing physiological phenomena not captured by traditional EKGs. "The revolutionary part to me, as a cardiologist, is the ability to create an accurate 3D map of heart physiology, which EKG really can't do." Dr. Bander also discusses ongoing research with SandboxAQ in one of NYC’s busiest ERs and what this technology could mean for the future of cardiovascular care. With advances in AI simulation and large quantitative models, the next generation of cardiac diagnostics is already taking shape: youtube.com/watch?v=s7VK4_… To learn more about MCG and the AQMed team, visit our website at: sandboxaq.com/solutions/aqmed

Proud moment for Classiq! Our Quantum Error Correction Researcher Gilad Kishony has published a paper with none other than Austin Fowler—and it’s a standout. Introducing a novel approach that reshapes how we think about quantum error correction. Here is all you need to know: Compiling a logical computation for execution via lattice surgery on the surface code is a layered problem rather than a single translation step. The computation must first be mapped to a topological picture, and that picture must then be embedded as a consistent layout in three-dimensional space-time. Only after that can the abstract structure be lowered to the physical-qubit level: determining which stabilizers are measured, on which plaquettes or elongated regions, and how those measurements tile the device. Even once the layout is fixed, much of the work still remains. The syndrome-extraction circuits implementing each stabilizer measurement must be specified gate by gate, including the ordering of two-qubit couplings, their timing relative to neighboring operations, and the scheduling of resets and measurements. These choices determine how faults propagate, for example, through hook errors, and therefore directly affect the achieved circuit-level distance and resource overhead. The objective is to reduce this low-level complexity, requiring fewer geometry-dependent conventions and fewer special scheduling cases, without sacrificing the performance metrics that matter in practice, such as preserving distance and keeping the measurement cycle as compact as the hardware model permits. The diagonal schedule provides a “same recipe everywhere” approach: one fixed ordering for all X-type stabilizers and another for all Z-type stabilizers. This removes the need to specify circuits on a plaquette-by-plaquette basis while still steering hook errors away from logical-operator directions, thereby preserving full circuit-level distance.
