Additional reporting on Anthropic's quantum circuit work: the paper is on arXiv (2610.22367), first-authored by Anthropic researcher Andi Gu under quantum physicist Alek Kemeny, with Harvard's Susanne Yelin and QuEra's Mikhail Lukin involved. Claude autonomously beat published state-of-the-art on all 8 text-described circuit tasks.
Details: FeMoco simulation took humans 8 years to cut from 50 trillion to 340M Toffoli gates — Claude did it in 53 hours; it derived novel algebraic identities (Lean-formalized) for the first branch-history-free reversible divsteps (1/17 gates, +12% qubits); and rebuilt the DQI decoder on Berlekamp-Massey, using 403M samples to justify reserving only 19 qubits (12x fewer gates). The team had to force early, overly conservative Claude to explore multiple paths to unlock the new math.
