AI Tackles 40-Year Quantum Error Problem as Tsinghua Sees 5- to 10-Year Gains

Summary
A 40-year obstacle in quantum computing—error correction—is now seeing promising AI-driven solutions, according to Tsinghua dean and Turing Award winner Andrew Yao.
Yao said AI for science will be the most important AI research direction over the next three to five years, with quantum AI potentially delivering major progress within five to 10 years.
Fudan's Su Hao argued AI must be grounded in physical reality to curb large-language-model hallucinations, using prediction, action and feedback from the real world.
That shift points AI research away from model scaling alone and toward reliable, generalizable systems, with knowledge aggregation and real-world performance taking priority over flashy demonstrations.
