Quantinuum's 56-Qubit Quantum Computer Achieves Quantum Supremacy in Random Number Generation, Validated by Supercomputers

Quantinuum's 56-qubit trapped ion quantum computer has achieved quantum supremacy by generating certified randomness, a task beyond classical computers. * The system used Random Circuit Sampling (RCS) to output more randomness than input. * Researchers from JPMorgan Chase, Quantinuum, and national labs validated the randomness using Frontier, Summit, Perlmutter, and Polaris supercomputers. * The team certified 71,313 bits of entropy, demonstrating computational power exceeding classical supercomputers. * This breakthrough marks a step toward using quantum computers for cryptographic applications and advanced simulations.
