University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge is a research university, not a company, whose Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and affiliated centres carry out quantum computing research across superconducting circuits, semiconductor spin qubits, photonic and quantum networking experiments, plus theory work on algorithms, error correction and complexity. It functions as a training ground and source of spinouts, including Cambridge Quantum Computing (now part of Quantinuum), rather than as a vendor building a commercial quantum computer. Its quantum activity is largely grant-funded academic work with industrial partnerships.

Columbia & Cambridge unlock quantum AI for new material models

Researchers led by Michele Simoncelli at Columbia University, working with colleagues at the University of Cambridge, have introduced a benchmark for testing machine learning models that predict material properties. The benchmark is intended to give the community a standardized way to compare how well different models capture the behaviour of materials.

OutlookPlausible

The benchmark could become a standard evaluation suite for machine learning interatomic potentials and property prediction models.
