IBM and Dallara are exploring how physics-based AI and quantum computing could improve the design of race cars and every day vehicles

IBM’s most expansive model release to date covers new language, vision, speech, embedding, and guardian models — tailored for enterprise workloads.

IBM Research’s partnerships with MIT, ETH Zurich, and the University of Illinois will lead to next-generation AI and quantum algorithms and applications.

Co-designed by IBM, the UKAEA, and STFC Hartree Centre, the model could help to advance nuclear fusion as an alternative to fossil fuels.

We spoke with her about quantum-centric supercomputing and how her career path has mirrored quantum’s remarkable rise.

Explore the latest updates, releases, and resources from IBM Quantum and Qiskit.

In the first ever Q4Bio Challenge, research teams sought to demonstrate scalable quantum algorithms for healthcare, with \$2 million in prize money on the line.

Adding a step between pre-training and post-training matters more than people may think.

The storage-centric vector database fits on a single server to help scale retrieval-augmented generation, unlocking new value from enterprise data.

- Ponder This We are given a strange analog clock - its dial has no markings, and although it has three hands that move continuously (not in steps), they are all of the same length and are indistinguishable. Quickly it becomes obvious that the clock is far from useless, since we can usually deduce the time from the cyclic triple of relative angles between its three hands. However, there are still…

IBM Research and ETH Zurich just signed a new research agreement, with the goal of creating the algorithmic underpinnings of the next era in computing. This partnership has been longstanding, with the IBM-ETH relationship dating back 70 years, to the very start of IBM’s presence in Zurich. The Zurich lab’s inaugural director, Ambrose Speiser, was a young computer science professor at Eidgenössisc…

Time-series data comes in many forms, and with many potential applications. That means no single forecasting method can work best all the time. If you’re trying to predict tomorrow’s high and low temperature, or whether a company will hit next week’s sales target, point forecasting is a good bet. But if you’re trying to decide when to restock a product or evaluate a company’s risk exposure, a pro…

Behind the smartphone in your pocket, and nearly every other manufactured good, is something called a BOM — a bill of materials that breaks down the product’s parts and explains how it was made. A BOM serves as a manufacturing blueprint that can help businesses manage inventory, reduce waste, and improve supply chain efficiency. Software products got their own bill of materials in the 2010s, with…

Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, material scientists, and physicists focus on subtle interactions in quantum materials and to uncover them they rely on sophisticated computational and experimental techniques. Computer simulations that connect microscopic quantum interactions to measurable material properties complement experimental da…

Operationalizing AI inference is hard, especially with cutting-edge models and the infrastructure they require. New workloads are variable, and APIs don’t always make it possible to orchestrate inference. The cloud‑native world is racing to keep up with the demands of modern AI, and large language model (LLM) inference is one place where that pressure is felt most intensely. As organizations push…

Blog summary: - A joint Cleveland Clinic-IBM research team simulated the electronic structure the 303-atom miniprotein Trp-cage. - Accurate electronic structure calculations on classical computers become increasingly challenging as system size increases. A workable quantum approach could unlock a range of industry applications. - The method involves breaking the molecule into clusters, and using …

Have you ever tried to dictate a text message to a friend, or asked a voice assistant a question, only to find out that your phone completely misunderstood you? Chances are, if you’ve used any major smartphone software in the last decade, you have. Often, that’s because these systems can’t decipher speech in imperfect situations. And most of the time, the real world is less than perfect. New appl…

Many trace the origins of quantum computing to a cool spring day in 1981 at MIT’s Endicott House in Dedham, Massachusetts. It was there that nearly 50 physicists and computer scientists gathered for the first meeting of the Physics of Computation Conference, where the renowned physicist Richard Feynman shared his radical vision for the future of computation. “He said that computers ought to be qu…
