Co-designed transversal STAR architecture, published in PRX Quantum, delivers up to 250× faster execution and roughly 2× fewer physical qubits than conventional fault-tolerant approaches for structured quantum simulation — bringing the megaquop era within reach significantly sooner.

BOSTON, MA — June 1, 2026 — QuEra Computing today announced the publication in PRX Quantum of a new co-designed quantum computing architecture, developed in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, that significantly reduces the physical resources required for early fault-tolerant quantum simulation. The architecture — called transversal STAR (Space-Time Efficient Analog Rotation) — is co-designed with neutral-atom hardware and is targeted at structured quantum simulation problems in materials science, condensed matter and non-equilibrium dynamics.
