What are quantum computers good for? When Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek built his first microscope in the 17th Century, he discovered that water was teeming with tiny life. He didn’t set out to revolutionise biology, he was simply curious. That same spirit drives today’s exploration of quantum computing. In a new video for our Quantum Talent platform, Professor Harry Buhrman draws this analogy to reflect on where we are with quantum computing today. Quantum computers aren’t just faster versions of classical machines, they approach computation in a completely different way. Like early scientists peering through new lenses, we’re now using quantum computers to “see” things that were previously beyond reach. Harry, who is Chief Scientist for Algorithms and Innovation at Quantinuum and a Professor at the University of Amsterdam, is interested in what we can do with a quantum computer that you cannot do with a classical computer. He introduces the concept of “queasy instances”; problems that make classical algorithms struggle but feel “quantum-easy” on a quantum computer. These are the frontier cases where real quantum advantage may emerge, from simulating superconducting materials to uncovering hidden structures in complex data.

Quantum error detection is generally viewed as a short-term solution—a non-scalable, stop-gap until fully fault-tolerant computing is finally unlocked. In a new paper, our team made a serendipitous discovery. While studying contact process, which describes things like how diseases spread or how water permeates porous materials, they came across “a surprising result” when they realized they could escape exponential overhead by converting detected errors into hardware resets. Ultimately, this will allow error detection codes to be used in a scalable way, and opens the door for what was previously considered a “stop gap” technology to be more widely used, especially by people who are looking for quantum advantage on near-term devices.

For decades, we’ve asked when quantum computers will outperform classical ones – but what if that’s the wrong question? A new framework from Quantinuum researchers, led by our Chief Scientist for Algorithms and Innovation Harry Buhrman, offers a powerful way to discover instances of quantum advantage hidden in the computational landscape. By introducing “queasy instances” (quantum-easy) – specific problem cases that are hard for classical computers but easy for quantum ones – this fresh perspective shifts the conversation from when quantum advantage will appear to where quantum advantage lies. This work provides a roadmap for the hunt for quantum advantage.

What if happiness and income weren’t just loosely related—but circularly correlated? While most of us are familiar with linear correlations (like income and health), life often isn't so simple. Topological data analysis (TDA) offers a way to uncover more complex patterns—like loops and voids—in high-dimensional data. These features are captured by quantities called Betti numbers. At Quantinuum, we've been exploring how quantum algorithms can estimate normalized Betti numbers—even in datasets where classical algorithms struggle. In our latest study, we mathematically characterize the kinds of datasets that cause classical estimation methods to break down. This is a crucial step toward identifying real-world data where quantum advantage can emerge. The implications? We’re getting closer to unlocking insights in data that were previously out of reach—thanks to quantum computing. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/edQREC5R
