Lionel Martellini (EDHEC Quantum Institute): Why business leaders need quantum awareness, not quantum washing
Yuval Boger interviews Lionel Martellini, finance professor at the EDHEC and founding director of the EDHEC Quantum Institute. Lionel describes his unusual path from finance to astrophysics and why business schools should teach quantum awareness to future leaders. They discuss core quantum concepts, the danger of overhyping “quantum washing,” and the real prospects for quantum […]
What Is NISQ Quantum Computing: The Current Era of Quantum Machines
Insider Brief NISQ, or Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum, describes current quantum computers that can run quantum algorithms but remain limited by noise, error rates and circuit depth. NISQ systems are primarily used for research and experimentation, including testing quantum algorithms, error mitigation techniques and hybrid quantum-classical approaches. The industry is beginning to move toward fault-tolerant systems […]
Quantum X Labs Tests AI Quantum Error Decoder on Google Hardware Dataset
Insider Brief Quantum X Labs reported new results from its AI-driven quantum error-correction program using Google’s public surface-code dataset from a real quantum hardware experiment. The company said its updated decoder improved performance against matching-family benchmarks while being trained only on synthetic data rather than Google’s real hardware shots. QXL plans to extend the work […]
