US EditionJPMorgan Just Beat Big Tech to a Quantum Breakthrough
- Researchers from JPMorgan Chase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Texas at Austin collaborated to demonstrate a new method of generating certified random numbers using a 56-qubit quantum computer.
- This breakthrough addresses the challenge of converting quantum computing power into solving practical tasks, building upon a randomness protocol proposed by Scott Aaronson in 2018.
- The team accessed a 56-qubit Quantinuum quantum computer over the internet and employed Random Circuit Sampling to create verified random bits, proving that classical methods cannot replicate this quantum randomness.
- Marco Pistoia, Head of Global Technology Applied Research at JPMorganChase, stated, "This work marks a major milestone in quantum computing, demonstrating a solution to a real-world challenge using a quantum computer beyond the capabilities of classical supercomputers today."
- Using high-performance supercomputers with 1.1 ExaFLOPS of processing power, the team successfully certified 71,313 entropy bits, confirming the authenticity of the generated random bits and opening doors for applications in cryptography, statistical sampling, numerical simulations, and enhanced security.

JPMorgan Just Beat Big Tech to a Quantum Breakthrough
Pulling numbered balls out of a mixing machine. Tracking the twitch of a mouse cursor. Converting lava lamp motion into data. These are just a few ways real-world randomness is generated—essential for things like lotteries and Internet encryption, where unpredictability equals security. Transmitting that randomness over the Internet, however, is a different story. Physically random processes are hard to verify remotely, and by design, traditiona…
Quantum computing milestone: 56-qubit computer provides truly random number generation
In a new paper in Nature, a team of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and The University of Texas at Austin describe a milestone in the field of quantum computing, with potential applications in cryptography, fairness and privacy.
Certified randomness using a trapped-ion quantum processor
Although quantum computers can perform a wide range of practically important tasks beyond the abilities of classical computers1,2, realizing this potential remains a challenge. An example is to use an untrusted remote device to generate random bits that can be certified to contain a certain amount of entropy3. Certified randomness has many applications but is impossible to achieve solely by classical computation. Here we demonstrate the generati…
