A groundbreaking collaboration between JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, and leading research institutions has achieved a significant quantum computing milestone by successfully demonstrating Certified Quantum Randomness. The team utilized a 56-qubit Quantinuum System Model H2 trapped-ion quantum computer to generate certifiably random bits, a task impossible for classical computers.

The research, published in Nature on March 26, employed a two-step protocol: First, generating challenge random circuits sent to the quantum computer, which responded faster than classical simulation capabilities. Second, mathematically certifying the randomness using classical supercomputers with 1.1 ExaFLOPS performance, resulting in 71,313 certified bits of entropy.

This breakthrough has significant implications for cryptography, fairness, privacy, and complex mathematical problem-solving, marking the first practical application of quantum computing beyond classical computing capabilities.

J.P. Morgan Real Estate Income Trust (JPMREIT) has expanded its portfolio with two strategic residential acquisitions: The Preserve at Pine Valley in Wilmington, NC and Bass Lofts in Atlanta, GA. The Preserve at Pine Valley, a 219-unit Class-B housing community, was acquired for $32.1 million through a 90/10 joint venture with Ginkgo Residential. Bass Lofts, a 133-unit Class-A property in Atlanta's Little Five Points neighborhood, was purchased for $34.8 million.

The Preserve at Pine Valley benefits from Wilmington's 70% population growth since 2000, while Bass Lofts maintains 96% occupancy. These acquisitions mark JPMREIT's 5th and 6th residential investments, bringing its total portfolio to 12 investments. The company is strategically targeting the Sunbelt region, which shows declining supply amid continued population and wage growth.

• 67% achieved at least one financial goal
• 27% reduced debt (averaging $2,263)
• 72% retention rate for two-year college students
• 85% and 82% retention rates at participating four-year institutions

MSFCP.org is currently operating at 10 post-secondary institutions, with plans to expand to four more colleges by 2027. The program is enhanced by Chase Community Managers who serve as guest lecturers, providing practical financial education to students.
