Jülich Study Maps Hidden Qubit Interactions in Google’s Sycamore Processor

July 6, 2026 — Today’s quantum devices often look clean and well-controlled, but the physics inside is far richer and less forgiving. Researchers at Jülich, together with Nobel laureate John M. Martinis and collaborators at MIT, have developed a new framework to tame these hidden interactions. A superconducting quantum processor may look like a clean, well-ordered […] The post Jülich Study Maps Hidden Qubit Interactions in Google’s Sycamore Processor appeared first on HPCwire .
