Honored that IBM has been named Organization of the Year by Quantum World Congress. Over the past decade, we've gone from putting the first quantum computers on the cloud to building a global ecosystem advancing quantum computing through new processors and systems, Qiskit, groundbreaking research, and a growing community of developers, researchers, clients, and partners. This recognition belongs to everyone who has helped build the field alongside us. This year, three independent experiments by leading researchers in conjunction with IBM demonstrated claims of quantum advantage. Thank you to Quantum World Congress for this recognition, and to everyone across IBM and our ecosystem helping shape the future of computing. The best work is still ahead of us.
Quantum advantage becomes most meaningful when the underlying systems are usable, reproducible and connected to real-world workflows. Building the developer ecosystem alongside the hardware may be just as important as the processor milestones.
An additional note: My experimental work on IBM quantum hardware directly explores challenges closely related to this area. The results may provide valuable experimental insights relevant to the continued advancement of quantum systems.
Congratulations, Jay, and to the wider team. Making quantum systems accessible through the cloud gives more researchers and students a way to participate. It is good to see the developer community recognised alongside the hardware work.
"Quantum world congress"... a gathering of people who are determining how to monetize on the HYPE of "quantum computing" as they silently advance it by abandoning Heisenberg and the resultant "quantum zoo", and start optimizing the ANALOG nature of reality, and getting better at phase detection to turn waves of energy into MSK (10? 27?) instead of a single 1 or single 0 (the transistor gross approximation). It is an information vs. bandwidth optimization that has been explored in communications for decades, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with "quantum physics" (and if it did? it wouldn't work at all... quantum physics is hack because Heisenberg never met Nyquist). 1) Energy is the ONLY scalar field in the universe, mass, time, momentum, entropy, etc. are all derived/emergent. 2) The scalar field is flat (no curvature), with non-zero impedance (Z0). 3) The principle of least action: no phase mismatches in the scalar field are allowed, it would take infinite energy!
This is a significant recognition for the IBM team and the broader quantum community. Moving from cloud-first quantum computing to demonstrating quantum advantage through independent experiments shows a commitment to advancing the fundamental capabilities of the field. The focus on a growing ecosystem also highlights how crucial collaboration is for such complex technological progress. Happy to share more context - details on my site. https://heyjunior.ai
Jay, built N45-AIC v7.0 / Quantum Shield Omega - real ML-DSA-65 verification (not simulation). 30/30 forged signatures rejected with auditable log: "FALLO: firma falsa rechazada" + SHA3-512 + microsecond timestamp. Live demo: https://quantum-shield-omega.preview.emergentagent.com/ API health: /api/health (ML-KEM-768 OK) Mitigates N6-IL vector (AI false injection in 0.07s preemption window). Built from Paraguay to contribute to IBM Quantum Safe roadmap. Would value 2 min of your technical feedback.
Jay and IBM Quantum team, Congratulations! on being named 2026 Organization of the Year for Quantum Leadership! IBM’s leadership in quantum computing and quantum safe technology is unprecedented. Proud to be part of this journey.
Beyond on/off… software and hardware… bars and gauging… yet… quantum cascades and relativity. Gravity and solutions and challenges… yet… carts… horses and feedback loops beyond Space Shuttle and horse power… Yet… multipliers and Shetland pony and Arabian?… yet… ass and don’t be A.. or… riding on a “pony”… jurisprudence… beyond proxy and name calling… and or… healing and justice… beyond “Andy’s coming” and shows and flows.
Jay Gambetta, IBM Research rocks under your leadership. A well-deserved recognition of IBM Quantum’s sustained leadership in advancing the field. The combination of hardware, Qiskit, research, and a growing global ecosystem is creating the foundation for meaningful quantum advantage. Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to this progress.
Congratulations, Jay, and warm regards to you and the entire IBM Quantum team on this well-deserved recognition. From my own experience running real experimental workloads on physical IBM quantum hardware, I have encountered a practical limitation worth highlighting: the available free QPU allocation can sometimes be insufficient to complete even a single rigorous experimental workload, particularly when repeated executions, validation, and reproducibility checks are required. In my own experimental runs, I have obtained measured success rates exceeding 79%. At that stage, additional QPU time is not simply about running more circuits; it can be essential for completing validation, testing reproducibility, and determining whether the observed performance remains robust across repeated hardware executions. Expanding research-oriented QPU access for experimentally promising workloads could help independent researchers carry strong preliminary results through to rigorous experimental conclusions.
