IBM quantum processor generates 1 million samples in 19 seconds in random circuit sampling test

IBM\'s quantum processor Nighthawk r2 generated 1 million samples in 19 seconds in a random circuit sampling test used to assess quantum advantage. A research team led by Tigran Sedrakian at U.S. quantum software company BlueQubit released a preprint describing the experiment. The team estimated the same task would take about 110 years on a state-of-the-art supercomputer. The report cautioned the result applies only to the specific benchmark and has not yet undergone peer review.

Anthropic expands into physical AI, unveils hardware version of MCP called MHS

Anthropic has unveiled a new interface standard, the Model Hardware Standard, designed to help AI agents operate machines and communicate with equipment more easily. MHS is built to work on any device with a programmable interface, including scientific research tools and advanced manufacturing equipment. Anthropic said it is like a USB-C cable that standardises how information is exchanged between devices. The standard aims to reduce installation and integration time and is not tied to a specific AI model.
