IBM Launches Qiskit Paulice to Improve the Reliability of Quantum Circuits on Current Hardware

IBM has launched the Qiskit Paulice add-on, which integrates low-cost quantum checks into circuits to detect error-affected outcomes and discard them. The tool particularly targets Clifford circuits and circuits dominated by this type, while providing documentation, tutorials, and a GitHub repository to get started.

How Can Quantum Computing Improve the Construction of Complex Insurance Portfolios? An Experiment Between Allstate and IBM

Allstate and IBM are investigating the use of an approach that combines quantum and classical computing to select home insurance portfolios, where potential losses are linked to disasters affecting broad areas at the same time. Experiments showed that the quantum-classical approach remained competitive with traditional optimization methods, but it has not yet reached the stage of handling sizes at which conventional exact solutions become infeasible.
