Anthropic reports Claude-designed improvements to eight quantum circuits
Anthropic says Claude used an automated evaluator to design improved versions of eight quantum-computing circuit primitives, with some resource estimates improving by an order of magnitude. The work was done with academic collaborators and concerns circuit designs checked by the evaluator; it does not mean a quantum computer has run them or that practical quantum computing has arrived.
