Google Quantum AI · Kaggle competition
Verifiable Quantum Circuit Compilation
Ranked 45th on the public leaderboard in Google Quantum AI's Verifiable Quantum Circuit Compilation competition on Kaggle, as of 27 October 2026. The competition is ongoing.
BlueQubit × DuQuantum 2026
Duke Quantum Hackathon
A 24-hour quantum simulation hackathon estimating information-scrambling signals with exact, matrix-product-state, and Pauli-path methods.
Quantum factoring · Essays & experiments
Shor’s Algorithm & Quantum Factoring
A guided series on Shor’s algorithm, hardware experiments, factoring claims, and resource estimates, with the companion code behind the analysis.
Quantum coding challenges
QHACK 2026
Completed every QHACK 2026 coding challenge with team Phase Kickback, reaching 79th of 1,662 teams with 5,200 points.
ECDSA.fail challenge
ECDSA Circuit Optimization
A new official ECDSA.fail gate-count record — 751,182 Toffolis using 1,464 logical qubits — and an improved accepted product result, verified on 20 October 2026.
BlueQubit competition
Peaked Circuit Recovery
Recovering the hidden 98-bit answers of two quantum circuits from noisy hardware runs — and finishing first on the BlueQubit leaderboard.
Quantum–HPC integration
Quantum + HPC
An exploration of how future quantum–HPC systems will look, where quantum processors sit inside supercomputers, by measuring the classical work every quantum algorithm depends on.
Classiq Quantum Circuit Challenge
Classiq Logo Phase Oracle
A quantum circuit that encodes a 64×64 logo, made about 48 times shallower by exploiting the patterns in the image.
Scientific software
MettleQ
MettleQ lets researchers simulate quantum circuits on a Mac’s GPU, using the Qiskit and PennyLane code they already write.
Strongly correlated electrons
Quantum Chemistry
A very high-accuracy classical calculation of a difficult iron–sulfur molecule, built as a fair yardstick for judging quantum chemistry methods.
Local AI research
The Atelier Lab
A private AI research assistant that runs entirely on a laptop — it reads papers, answers with citations, and makes code changes that are tested before they are trusted.
Quantum scientific computing
Quantum CFD
Testing whether a well-known quantum approach to solving equations is practical for engineering simulations — on real IBM and Quantinuum hardware.
