[IBM Announces Entry into the 'Quantum Advantage' Era, Results Verifiable] According to Gelonghui, IBM stated on Thursday that its research shows quantum computers have reached the 'quantum advantage' stage—where quantum computers can perform computational tasks beyond the capabilities of traditional computers, and these results can be rigorously verified. This research achievement marks a step forward for this emerging technology toward practical applications. The related findings were published in three papers jointly completed by IBM and its research partners. Collaborators include the University of Chicago, Japan's RIKEN, and quantum computing software companies Qedma, BlueQubit, and Algorithmiq. IBM Research Director Jay Gambetta said: 'We have entered the era of quantum advantage. Scientists can trust these results.'
