RECAP: SQA Conference 2025, with Google Quantum AI, IQM and Riverlane. Thanks to her IQM virtual pass, the Latestsale.com founder was happy to have attended the SQA Conference 2025 that took place between 25th to 27th August 2025. The IQM Constellation at SQA Conference 2025 in Delft, the Netherlands was an eye opener for the quantum superconducting industry and the Latestsale.com Founder attended conference on DAY ONE, Monday 25th August 2025.
DAY ONE SQA 2025 CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS: MONDAY 25TH AUGUST 2025
QuTech, Orange Quantum Systems and IQM Quantum Computers join forces
The Superconducting Qubits and Algorithms summit (SQA) is a not-for-profit conference that highlights the scientific and technological milestones achieved in the sector’s quest to develop algorithms used specifically for superconducting quantum computers. The SQA Conference 2025 was organized by QuTech, Orange Quantum Systems, and IQM Quantum Computers in cooperation with the scientific community.
Johannes Heinsoo, Quantum Engineer communicates IQM six-qubit star lattice QPU milestones
IQM was pleased to announce that the team had been working tirelessly to achieve industrial quantum advantage through the implementation of quantum error correction. IQM, confirmed that the launch of the IQM six-qubit star lattice QPU is capable of not only providing parallelism and effective local all-to-all connectivity, but could also facilitate hardware-efficient error correction.
The IQM SQA conference 2025 team led by Johannes Heinsoo, Quantum Engineer at IQM Finland Oy, Espoo, Uusimaa who was proud to announce some astounding results, indicated logical fidelities above 96%, and error-per-cycle rates as low as 0.25%. IQM hailed the STAR architecture (this topology adheres to the IQM error correction roadmap), as a major contributor to reaching this milestone.
Riverlane unveils Quantum Error Correction Report 2025
Additional speakers at the three-day conference included Ophelia Crawford, Riverlane Senior Staff Quantum Scientist who presented outputs from the “To reset, or not to reset, that is the question” session. Riverlane presented its work on Quantum Error Correction (QEC) at the Superconducting Qubits and Algorithms Conference (SQA) 2025, focusing its research thesis on the pulse sheet viewer, unconditional resets deployed to reduce or remove leakage and the importance of QEC for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
Nathan Lacroix of Google Quantum AI Unveils Logical Randomized Benchmarking
Nathan Lacroix of Google Quantum AI who delivered the Opening and Keynote “Scaling And Logic In The Color Code On A Superconducting Quantum Processor” conference demonstrated how a useful quantum computer could soon be unveiled by making error correction redundant, thanks to the development of superdense coding, and running algorithms with surface versus colour codes.
Lacroix confirmed that through Logical Randomized Benchmarking, the remarkable progress of the Google Willow chip was achieved by testing hardware optimized with the surface code, ensuring that data outputs were the same as read out lines.
