Summary
Quantum computing has opened exciting research avenues, both in hardware innovation—such as designing optimal qubit architectures—and in identifying problems where quantum advantage can be realized. On the algorithm and application front, IBM Quantum’s researchers are pushing the boundaries of near-term quantum algorithms, tackling challenges in molecular chemistry, high-energy physics, machine learning, and optimization. Our utility-scale experiments now span over 100 qubits, leveraging real quantum processors to explore meaningful computational advantages. The latest IBM Quantum processor, the Heron chip, with 156 qubits, delivers unprecedented error performance, achieving a best two-qubit error rate of 9.38 × 10⁻⁴, marking a significant step forward in scalable quantum computing. To support researchers globally, we have developed Qiskit Functions—an abstracted service designed to accelerate algorithm discovery and application prototyping. In this talk, we will discuss how IBM Quantum enables global researchers to conduct real-time quantum experiments on IBM Quantum Hardware, advancing scientific exploration and discovery. We will also showcase some of our latest research articles and breakthroughs demonstrating the evolving potential of quantum algorithms from utility towards advantage.

About webinar
As part of the International Quantum Day 2025 celebration, the Department of Physics at Vignan’s Foundation for Science, Technology & Research has organized one-day webinar on “Quantum Awakening: Expanding the Inner Dimension” on 21-04-2025. All of our Vignan’s group faculty, researchers, and students have participated in online mode along with eminent speakers Dr. Jayakumar and Dr. M. Rahman in the webinar. This is a day dedicated not only to the extraordinary scientific breakthroughs we continue to witness in the field of quantum physics but also to our shared exploration of what quantum theory can teach us about the universe—and, perhaps more profoundly, about us." It is a day for fostering curiosity, collaboration, and education, as well as for inspiring individuals to engage with the mysteries of the quantum world and embrace the transformative potential it holds, both for the world around us and within us. The principles that govern the quantum world—uncertainty, superposition, entanglement, the observer effect, and nonlocality—offer profound insights into the nature of reality and our place within it. These concepts challenge us to rethink how we perceive the world around us. By embracing the principles of quantum physics in our personal lives, we can cultivate a mindset that embraces uncertainty, expands our sense of possibility, deepens our connection with others, and empowers us to create the reality we desire. The study of quantum physics isn’t just about understanding the outer universe—it’s also about awakening to the vast, untapped potential within ourselves. The future is vast—both out there in the quantum realm and within ourselves. Together, let’s continue to awaken to the infinite possibilities ahead." Speaker 1: Dr. Jayakumar Vaithiyashankar is the founder and CEO of Anuthantra Pvt. Ltd. He also serves as an IBM Quantum Educator and an IBM Qiskit Advocate Mentor. He is actively building a quantum community in India and is an IBM Certified Associate Developer in Quantum Computation using Qiskit. Speaker 2: Dr. Mostafizur Rahaman is a research scientist in the Quantum Division at IBM Research Lab Bangalore. He is part of IBM’s global Quantum Algorithm and QISKIT Software teams and collaborates closely with the Accelerated Discovery group based at the Yorktown Lab, USA. Both speakers have delivered the talk on quantum technology for the next generation. Total Participants: 102
