IBM (NYSE: IBM), Cleveland Clinic, and RIKEN used IBM quantum processors and top classical supercomputers to simulate protein complexes up to 12,635 atoms, the largest biologically meaningful quantum-hardware simulations reported to date. The team combined a hybrid algorithm (EWF-TrimSQD) with Fugaku and Miyabi-G and ran up to 94 qubits and nearly 6,000 quantum operations on IBM Quantum Heron processors, achieving systems ~40× larger and up to 210× accuracy improvement versus six months earlier. The work is reported in a pre-print and is presented as an early step toward quantum-assisted drug discovery.
IBM (NYSE: IBM) released a global CEO study (2,000 CEOs) on May 4, 2026 showing rapid C-suite redesign for an AI-first operating model. Key metrics: 76% of organizations now have a Chief AI Officer (up from 26%), organizations with AI-first C-suite scaled 10% more AI initiatives, and 64% of CEOs are comfortable using AI in major strategic decisions.
The study notes rising C-suite influence (CHRO +59% expectation), planned workforce reskilling (29%) and that by 2030 CEOs expect 48% of operational decisions to be made by AI where guardrails apply.
