qubit-lab.ch Quantum Update — August 2026
The web edition of our August 2026 update letter: IBM's quantum-advantage claim and the referee's view, the QAOA concentration study, two new RQPs (Credit Allocation Pro, Robust Collateral Allocation), and the adaptive ansatz.
qubit-lab.ch PQC Alert — August 2026
The web edition of our August 2026 PQC alert: FINMA Guidance 05/2026 recommends a board-adopted PQC roadmap by mid-2027 — only 8% of surveyed institutions have one, 72% have no measures yet. Why 'harvest now, decrypt later' sets the clock, why PQC is a business project with a critical IT role, and the one-page summary to forward.
qubit-lab.ch Quantum Update — July 2026
The web edition of our July 2026 update letter: the five-tool RQP suite, the new Feature Selection RQP, gate-before-you-train QML assessment, FINMA Guidance 05/2026 on PQC roadmaps, and what's worth your attention in quantum finance.
qubit-lab.ch Study: Configuration Atlas of Variational Classifiers 2026
Which settings of the trainable quantum model can be trained: most of them, if you measure locally — and a one-minute screen tells you which. 7,488 pre-training screens, 80 refereed trainings, design tagged before the first run; the screen and four guardrails shipped in the product.
qubit-lab.ch Study: Configuration Atlas of Quantum Kernels 2026
Which quantum-kernel settings can be measured at all — a predictable corner at every size, and a diagnostic that now points to it. 7,200 concentration measurements across every QSVM configuration, 150 refereed, design deposited before the first run; four product guardrails shipped from the findings.
qubit-lab.ch Study: QML VQC Island 2026
The trainable quantum model, mapped — whose territory, at which size, and what a fair attempt costs. 65 fair-recipe trainings against the ten-variant referee and the kernel method head-to-head; design publicly tagged before the first run.
qubit-lab.ch Study: QML Advantage Island 2026
Where quantum kernels can win at all — a measured map between the classical wall and the concentration wall. 996 referee arms, 4–16 qubits, exact / 4,096 / 512 shots; full run record on the evidence page.
qubit-lab.ch Study: Noise Ladder to Hardware 2026
Noise erases depth on today's hardware — and a calibrated simulation predicts the device only as an optimistic ceiling (×3). Five trained circuits through three noise levels, calibrated twins, and an ibm_kingston hardware rung.
qubit-lab.ch Study: QAOA Concentration 2026
Which quantum method? It depends on what you know going in. 12,397 certified runs over 24 instances compare QAOA variants under one exact classical referee — a decision tree for choosing the method before you spend hardware budget.
