IBM quantum computer accurately simulates magnetic material — and verified against real physics experiment

For the first time, IBM researchers and their partners from leading universities have succeeded in performing a quantum simulation of a magnetic material whose accuracy has been tested against the material's behavior in nature, an important step towards making quantum computing a practical tool in materials science.

The 2025 Turing Award was awarded to Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard for the foundations of quantum information science.

The two were recognized for a series of breakthroughs that turned quantum mechanics into a new basis for information processing, including the BB84 protocol, quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, and the development of the entire field as an independent scientific discipline.
