- 6OpenAI Blog·9/8/2026researchGPT-5.6 Sol helps automate quantum experiments
An MIT researcher used GPT-5.6 Sol with Codex to autonomously run quantum computing experiments, analyze the results, and calibrate qubits. The example highlights how OpenAI’s model can assist in specialized scientific workflows with limited human intervention.
- 8Hacker News·9/4/2026researchScientists observe Einsteinian gravity in the quantum regime
Researchers report an observation that links Einstein's theory of gravity with quantum behavior at very small scales. The result is presented as a notable step toward understanding how gravity operates in the quantum world, though it does not by itself provide a complete theory of quantum gravity.

IBM has completed and cooled the first two modules of a new cryogenic dilution refrigerator intended for its future fault-tolerant quantum computers. The system is designed to provide more wiring space, modularity, and shared ultra-cold infrastructure so IBM can eventually place and connect multiple quantum processors inside it.
