IBM and Qedma Demonstrate Quantum Advantage, Modeling Physics Beyond Classical Capabilities Through Trusted Quantum Computation

IBM, Thursday, July 30th, 2026

Qedma's error reduction software on IBM hardware resolved quantum material dynamics that classical simulation could not.

Qedma's quantum error reduction software, running on IBM quantum computers, accurately resolved the dynamics of quantum materials that remain unseen in classical simulation.

The results were tested against supercomputing resources from RIKEN and BlueQubit to establish that classical methods could not reach the same answer.

The work is one of three quantum advantage demonstrations IBM published, all oriented around trusted computation where results can be relied upon without full classical verification.

IBM covers the physics problem addressed and the error reduction approach used. It is aimed at the research community rather than enterprise buyers.
