From MIT to IBM, expediting AI and quantum deployment

Three former MIT researchers now at IBM credit the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab for bridging academic research and real-world AI applications. Their work spans quantum machine learning, reinforcement learning, and trustworthy AI, focusing on practical systems under real constraints. Zhang-Wei Hong, now at IBM, advanced reinforcement learning techniques inspired by DeepMind, applying them to robotics, large language models, and scientific exploration.
