SandboxAQ spun out of Google, raised $950M+, and is backed by NVIDIA. Everyone is talking about LLMs. Almost nobody is talking about LQMs. Sandbox bet: Large Quantitative Models that simulate physics and chemistry to invent new drugs and materials. I talked to their GM of AI Simulation Nadia Harhen about why LQMs might matter more than LLMs for the physical world. Our newest (and second) Podcast-Episode of Superintelligence Podcast - out now!

I’ve been sharing clips from my in-depth and wide-ranging Forbes interview on a weekly basis, and I’m excited to highlight this week’s segment on breaking down silos in healthcare AI. To build successful companies and make a profound difference for patients, we need teams where technologists work directly with the very best physicians, not in separate worlds, but side by side. The real breakthroughs in medicine will come from that kind of collaboration. Too often, the traditional healthcare world operates in separate swim lanes, where doctors, academics, scientists, and technologists rarely interact. I’ve seen firsthand what can happen when we push back against that trend. The results are extraordinary when we foster genuine interdisciplinary teamwork. Across our healthcare portfolio including @arteraAI, @AtroposHealth, @Cleerlyhealth, @Iterative_Hlth, @LyraHealth, @EvidenceOpen, @SandboxAQ, Soley Therapeutics, and several in stealth, we’ve seen the power of bringing engineers, clinicians, scientists, and researchers together to reimagine how care is delivered, measured, and improved.

IonQ & SandboxAQ Using quantum-enhanced simulations for accelerating catalyst design is an example of an area where quantum computers could be brought to bear on industrially relevant problems. Now, collaborations between Alphabet spinoff SandboxAQ (Palo Alto, Calif.; https://t.co/pAdlVvzSyy), Dow (Midland, Mich.; https://t.co/BK8qMfcXAZ) and quantum computing company IonQ (College Park, Md.; https://t.co/xG6sITOUG3) have yielded progress toward addressing noise issues and integrating quantum and classical computer systems in ways that allow real-world scientific computation. The SandboxAQ team developed an offline purification method to recover quantum states that were previously considered unreliable, so that they could be used in high-accuracy calculations. They demonstrated the technique on IonQ’s ion-trap quantum computer, showing a path to designing more resilient quantum circuits. “We are on the cusp of a new era of computer-aided materials design. We can now strategically structure quantum operations to minimize noise accumulation, enabling more robust computations. We can also extract valuable data from low-fidelity quantum states that are typically discarded. This opens the door to creating entire libraries of catalytic simulation data from just a handful of well-optimized quantum experiments,” Zaribafiyan said.

$IonQ Credit to @Rick101284 for flagging this one. SCSP just launched the Commission on U.S. Quantum Primacy (CUSP). Bipartisan. Co-chaired by Senators Todd Young and Ben Ray Luján the same Todd Young who co-authored the National Quantum Initiative Act in 2018. The commissioners list reads like a quantum war cabinet: → Niccolo De Masi, CEO, @IonQ_Inc → Hartmut Neven, Founder & Lead, Google Quantum AI → Jay Gambetta, Director of Research, IBM Fellow → Jack Hidary, CEO, SandboxAQ → Pat Gelsinger, Playground Global (ex-Intel CEO) → Megan Anderson, EVP Technology, IQT → Gretchen Campbell, AVP Quantum Research, UMD → Thomas Mason, Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory → Whitney Mason, Director Microsystems Technology Office, DARPA → Laura McGill, Director, Sandia National Laboratories → Mit Jha, CEO, Quantum Corridor De Masi is the only pure-play quantum computing CEO at the table. IBM and Google have quantum divisions. SandboxAQ does post-quantum crypto. But IonQ is the only company whose entire business IS quantum computing. As we’ve tracked all year from Davos to the White House briefings to Fox Business @NiccoloDeMasi has been positioning IonQ at the intersection of quantum and national security. Now he’s formally writing the national strategy alongside DARPA and the national labs. Initial findings expected by Fall 2026. $IONQ #IonQ #QuantumPrimacy #NationalSecurity

$IONQ SandoxAQ awarded $500M to use its Al-driven materials discovery platform to address 4 priority areas critical to US semiconductor manufacturing, including: 1. Replacements for Semiconductor Manufacturing PFAS 2. Catalysts for Semiconductor Fabrication 3. Rare Earth-Free Magnets for Semiconductor Manufacturing 4. Advanced Battery Chemistries for Backup Power to Semiconductor Facilities: Could be opportunity for Skywater as SandboxAQ will be partnering with "high-performing American manufacturing partners to advance the strongest breakthrough results into full-scale domestic manufacturing and commercialization." Ionq has also previously partnered with SanboxAQ on quantum optimization for catalyst discovery. https://t.co/hUyh4lI3KI
