AIX Global Innovations said its eight-week campaign on five IBM Heron chips ran an end-to-end fault-tolerant quantum software stack with zero detected logical errors on a 150-qubit persistent register using 156 physical qubits.
The 100-page Zenodo report says the Seed IQ control layer simultaneously met four FTQC benchmarks under live noise, including distance-3 and distance-5 surface-code correction, Clifford+T gates via magic-state injection, heterogeneous primitive chaining, and per-result admissibility checks.
On baseline validation runs, AIX reported logical error-rate reductions of 88.5% at d=3 and 93.1% at d=5, then executed 45,000 universal-primitive circuits across two calibration windows with a 1.0000 admissibility pass rate.
In 22 molecular chemistry runs across five workloads, all commits met chemical-accuracy thresholds; H2 landed within 0.0157 mHa of the exact value in under 80 seconds, while BeH2 equilibrium reached 0.000595 mHa precision.
The company said identical molecular energies reproduced to 12 decimal places across separate IBM processors reflected its software projection method, underscoring its claim that fault-tolerant behavior can be achieved on commodity cloud-accessible NISQ hardware.

Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing Realized: AIX Global Innovations Hits Zero Logical Errors on 156-Qubit IBM Heron
Overview
AIX Global Innovations achieved a major milestone by demonstrating zero logical errors on a 156-qubit IBM Heron quantum processor during an eight-week campaign. Using their Seed IQ platform, they ran over 45,000 quantum circuits across five different IBM Heron chips. Seed IQ’s advanced three-stage admissibility-and-projection contract allowed the software to project noisy quantum measurements onto a single fixed point, ensuring accurate results by directly analyzing each chip’s raw data. This streamlined approach eliminated the need for extra data processing steps, showing that reliable, fault-tolerant quantum computing is possible on current hardware with smart software solutions.
