As the Middle East conflict intensifies, Shell Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHELL#NYSE">SHELL</a>) CEO Wael Sawan warns of potential repercussions on global trade, particularly if the U.S. gets involved.
What Happened:  Sawan, during Japan Energy Summit and Exhibition 2025, expressed concern over the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, stating it could have a &#8220;huge impact on global trade.&#8221; Shell, a leading global trader of oil and natural gas, has already devised contingency plans to counter any potential disruption in the region&#8217;s oil flow due to the conflict, <a href="https://www.energyconnects.com/opinion/features/2025/june/shell-ceo-wael-sawan-lays-out-long-term-vision-amid-global-energy-shifts/">reported </a>by Energy Connects.
Sawan highlighted the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, a major artery for the world&#8217;s oil trade, at an energy conference in Tokyo. He warned that a blockade in the Strait could send shockwaves in the energy market. The CEO noted that 20% of the world oil supply comes through Hormuz and finding an &#8220;alternative&#8221; would be challenging.
&#8220;If that artery is blocked, for whatever reason, it has a huge impact on global trade… We have plans in the eventuality that things deteriorate,&#8221; said Sawan as per Guardian. 
He also expressed concern about potential &#8220;jamming&#8221; or disruption of navigation signals in and around the Persian Gulf.
Sawan expressed his opinion on the changing world order and its impact on the energy markets. &#8220;We need to set actions for a new reality."
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that the U.S. could intervene in the air war between Israel and Iran. This development further intensifies the potential impact of the conflict on global trade.

Why It Matters: The Israel-Iran conflict has been escalating, with both countries engaging in military actions. This conflict has the potential to disrupt the global oil market, impacting not only oil prices but also global trade and economies.
Earlier this month,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45958514/these-penny-stocks-stand-to-gain-from-israel-iran-conflict-induced-volatility-in-crude-oil-analyst">analysts suggested</a>&nbsp;that the Israel-Iran conflict could lead to increased volatility in crude oil prices, benefiting companies like Shell. This prediction aligns with Sawan&#8217;s warning about the potential impact of the conflict on global trade, further emphasizing the significance of the situation.
Shell has been actively involved in the oil and gas industry, recently expanding its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45664619/shell-boosts-nigerian-deepwater-assets-with-totalenergies-stake-purchase">Nigerian deepwater</a> assets through a strategic acquisition. The company&#8217;s stock performance is closely linked to global oil market dynamics, making the Israel-Iran conflict a critical factor for investors to monitor.
Brent crude oil prices have climbed 8.72% over the past five days amid escalating conflict. 
On a year-to-date basis, shares of Shell surged 14.10%, as per data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shell CEO Warns Of 'Huge Impact On Global Trade' If The Strait Of Hormuz Is Blocked Amid Israel-Iran Conflict: 'We Need To Set Actions For A New Reality'

Social Security and Medicare's main trust funds will be depleted in 2033, a year earlier than last forecast, trustees said Wednesday.
What Happened: The annual report advanced Medicare's insolvency date by three years after higher-than-expected 2024 hospital spending and slower wage growth eroded reserves. Unless Congress acts, benefits would fall 23% for Social Security and 11% for Medicare hospital care.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the other trustees urged urgent legislative action to protect roughly 70 million Social Security beneficiaries and 66 million Medicare enrollees.
Payroll taxes — 6.2% for Social Security on earnings up to $176,100 in 2025 and 1.45% for Medicare on all wages — remain the programs' primary revenue source. Because outlays already exceed income, reserves will be tapped annually until they vanish. After that, payroll collections would cover only 79% of scheduled Social Security checks.

Why It Matters: Progressive groups such as Social Security Works urge Congress to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44368080/ssa-to-seek-100-recovery-on-social-security-overpayments-heres-what-this-means-for-your-benefits">scrap the wage cap</a> and tax high earners, while the Cato Institute backs slower benefit growth to close the gap.
Public anxiety is rising too. A recent survey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45720416/6-in-10-americans-fear-social-security-will-vanish-before-they-retire-as-2033-insolvency-clock-ticks-louder">found 60% of Americans</a> fear the program will "vanish" before they retire, a worry advisers say is driving early claims that permanently shrink checks.
There have also been proposals to raise the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45534539/social-security-full-retirement-age-shift-means-filing-at-62-could-chop-your-check-by-30-what-every-worker-born-in-1960-or-later-must-know">full retirement age</a> beyond 67 and to lean on immigration, which generally boosts payroll revenue, though both ideas face partisan gridlock. History shows Congress often waits until deadlines loom; with just eight years left, lawmakers must soon decide whether to raise taxes, curb benefits or adopt a mix of both.

JPMorgan suggests that investors are indirectly exposed to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) through their investments in Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), with the passive ownership posing a risk to the stock.
What Happened:&nbsp;JPMorgan&#8217;s research, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, revealed that investors have poured&nbsp;as much as $50 billion&nbsp;into MicroStrategy, a company that has shifted its focus to Bitcoin,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-how-bitcoin-is-entering-investor-portfolios-through-the-backdoor-3e1882c3?mod=bulletin_ribbon">MarketWatch</a>&nbsp;reported.
These investments are indirect, as around $14 billion worth of MicroStrategy shares are held by mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track an index featuring the company. This figure could be even higher, as it excludes passive or active funds that hold MicroStrategy without it being part of their benchmark, as well as institutional investors such as Norges Bank and the Swiss National Bank, which are mandated to follow index compositions.
When these additional factors are considered, the total investment in MicroStrategy&nbsp;could be closer to $50&nbsp;billion, a significant portion of the company&#8217;s $100 billion market cap.
The heavy reliance on passive funds, which make up a fifth of the company&#8217;s ownership, poses a risk to MicroStrategy&#8217;s valuation.&nbsp;The company&#8217;s presence in equity indices exposes it to the risk of removal if it no longer meets the index criteria or if those criteria are revised in the future.
&#8220;If the bitcoin price fails to achieve sustained and strong annual appreciation in the future, preferred stock issuance and the MicroStrategy stock price could come under severe pressure,&#8221; warned JPMorgan.

Why It Matters: MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation has been a topic of concern for some time. Digital asset bank Sygnum warned that the company&#8217;s Bitcoin accumulation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45955730/microstrategys-bitcoin-accumulation-threatens-its-reserve-asset-status-sygnum-says">could undermine</a> the asset&#8217;s potential as a reserve asset for central banks and other institutions.
Despite these concerns, MicroStrategy has continued to expand its Bitcoin holdings, recently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45949930/strategy-acquires-1-05-billion-in-bitcoin-pushes-holdings-to-592100-btc-with-19-1-yield-in-2025">acquiring an additional</a> 10,100 Bitcoin for approximately $1.05 billion. This brought the company&#8217;s total holdings to 592,100 BTC, with a cumulative cost of $41.84 billion and a yield of 19.1% in 2025.
MicroStrategy&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Michael Saylor, has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin,&nbsp;stating that he sees a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45990339/michael-saylors-strategy-nears-600000-bitcoin-after-1-billion-buy-funded-by-high-yield-ipo-says-td-cowen-sees-very-safe-upside">&#8216;very safe&#8217; upside</a>&nbsp;to the company&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy. However, JPMorgan&#8217;s recent findings suggest that the company&#8217;s heavy reliance on passive funds and preferred stock financing could pose a significant risk to its valuation.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place MicroStrategy in the 95th percentile for momentum and the 3rd percentile for growth, reflecting mixed performance.

Americans observe Juneteenth every June 19, commemorating the day Union soldiers marched into Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, and enforced the Emancipation Proclamation, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued it. Their arrival effectively ended slavery in the Confederacy's most remote state.
President Lincoln's proclamation freed enslaved people in rebelling states only on paper until Union troops imposed it on the ground. As the Galveston History Foundation <a href="https://www.galvestonhistory.org/news/juneteenth-and-general-order-no-3#:~:text=After%20the%20Civil%20War%20ended,triumph%20of%20the%20human%20spirit">recounts</a>, Texas — largely untouched by Union forces — kept hundreds of thousands in bondage until Gen. Gordon Granger rode into Galveston and read General Order No. 3, instantly declaring their freedom.
Though Juneteenth wasn't a federal holiday until June 17, 2021, when President Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/06/21612957/what-is-juneteenth-and-how-did-it-become-the-11th-us-federal-holiday">signed legislation</a> making it the 11th federal holiday, communities had been celebrating for over 150 years, with origins dating back to June 19, 1866, in Texas.
Early celebrations, called &#8220;Jubilee Day,&#8221; featured church gatherings, parades, picnics, and voter education. They became part of the cultural fabric across Black communities during the Great Migration, enduring even as attention shifted during the Civil Rights era.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Doubts About The Date</h3>
Juneteenth may spotlight the end of slavery in the United States, but slavery remained legal until Congress ratified the 13th Amendment on Dec. 18, 1865. President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people only in the states that had seceded to form the Confederacy, and he lacked the authority to abolish slavery by executive order within Union states. Delaware and Kentucky kept slavery legal until the 13th Amendment became law.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Still Matters</h3>
Juneteenth honors a pivotal moment in American history and signals the beginning, not the end, of the struggle for Black liberation. Communities celebrate identity, art, and economic progress with music, storytelling, educational forums, and voter drives. Decades of grassroots activists, led by Opal Lee, the "grandmother of Juneteenth" and energized by the Black Lives Matter movement, pushed Congress to designate Juneteenth a federal holiday, celebrating the resilience of Black Americans.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What To Know About Today's Observance</h3>
Juneteenth launches a season of reflection leading up to July 4. In 2025, June 19 falls on a Thursday, and Wall Street will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46010720/are-markets-open-on-juneteenth-this-year-heres-whats-open-and-whats-closed-on-june-19">close for the day</a>. U.S. stock and bond markets, banks, federal offices, schools and postal services will all pause in observance.

Dan Ives&#8216; new artificial intelligence exchange-traded fund (ETF) holds securities beyond the Magnificent 7 stocks, as he believes in looking past valuations for investments in the technology sector.
What Happened: The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVES#NYSE">IVES</a>), managed by the Wedbush analyst, started trading on June 4, earlier this month.
Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45774136/wedbush-launches-ai-revolution-etf-backed-by-dan-ives-proprietary-tech-picks">boasts of the fund</a> by saying that it just doesn&#8217;t have the top four, five Magnificent 7 names, but stocks which investors wouldn&#8217;t even thematically consider as an AI name today. 
"I believe the market is still massively underestimating what the growth is going to look like for the AI revolution in tech," he told CNBC.
According to him, tech trade remains significant even for the investors who missed out on its growth in the past few years.
"If you focus just on valuation, you miss every transformational tech stock of the last 20 years," Ives said.
Ives says Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) will be the &#8220;epicenter&#8221; of the AI theme, while highlighting other &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks which are part of his fund.

Why It Matters: The &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks, which are a part of the IVES ETF, hold the AI plays from multiple industries. They include hyperscalers, cybersecurity, consumer platforms, and robotics. According to Ives, the list was compiled from his deep dives into major AI players.
The ETF has $183 million in assets under management as of June 17 close. Ives said that the AI space was experiencing a "golden age."
The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF has risen by 2.76% since its inception. A comparable index, S&amp;P Kensho Global Artificial Intelligence Enablers, rose 6.08% on a month-to-date basis.

A 30-year-old dentist sparked a fiery discussion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/whitecoatinvestor/comments/1l1ixs8/i_cant_wrap_my_head_around_the_statistic_thrown/">Reddit</a> after questioning a widely shared statistic they saw on Instagram that claims one in four doctors over 60 has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42380919/22-of-people-think-net-worth-only-applies-to-the-rich-heres-the-average-net-worth-and-how-to-calculate-yours">net worth</a> of less than $1 million.
Posting on the popular r/whitecoatinvestor subreddit, the dentist pushed back on what they called a suspiciously high figure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dentist Calls Out The Stat, Says It Doesn&#8217;t &#8216;Pass The Sniff Test&#8217;</h2>
&#8220;I saw a post on Instagram that said a quarter of doctors in their 60s still have under 1 mil net worth. That just does not pass the sniff test,&#8221; the dentist wrote. &#8220;Pretty much any MD that does a basic 401(k) match and does the classic &#8216;buy too much house&#8217; will hit 1m easily.&#8221;

</ul>
The dentist argued that even with minimal effort, a long medical career should result in substantial net worth. &#8220;Even a moron usually takes the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41637280/i-make-23-80-an-hour-and-my-employer-offers-a-15-401-k-contribution-match-is-this-a-good-deal-or">401(k) match</a>, and a moron buys too much house etc. But a moron will hit 1m if they only save 6% with the 401(k) match for 30 years.&#8221;
They went even further, pointing out how the stat doesn&#8217;t add up based on income levels alone: &#8220;Most teachers easily hit that making 1/10th a doc salary.&#8221;
Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45056965/dave-ramsey-says-doctors-and-lawyers-are-like-actors-notoriously-bad-with-money-just-because-you-make-a-lot-doesnt-mean-youre-winning">echoed a similar concern</a> about doctors&#8217; financial habits, comparing them to actors and musicians. &#8220;Medical doctors are about as notorious as people in the music business or the acting world for being stupid with money,&#8221; he said in a Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1219648489680293">video</a>. &#8220;Only they add a level of arrogance to it because they&#8217;re so freakin smart.&#8221;
But commenters quickly filled in the gaps that the dentist might be missing.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Divorce, Spending And Poor Financial Choices</h2>
Commenters shared story after story about how some doctors end up with less than $1 million by retirement. The most common culprit: divorce.
&#8220;Divorce is crazy. My buddy is paying three women alimony right now. In total it&#8217;s north of 40k a month,&#8221; one person wrote. Another claimed, &#8220;I had to pay my ex 5.5M.&#8221;
Some pointed out that even highly paid doctors fall into the trap of overspending. &#8220;I had one doctor who cleared $60k a month and he was spending $70k a month and had ZERO savings,&#8221; an accountant commented.
Others mentioned delayed earnings and student debt. Many doctors start working in their 30s, which leaves less time for compounding. One commenter described an ear, nose and throat surgeon in his 50s still paying off student loans and unable to help his kid with college costs, despite over 20 years in practice.
As one person summarized the issue: &#8220;There are plenty of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40583428/you-cant-earn-your-way-out-of-stupidity-dave-ramsey-on-why-60k-earning-teachers-often-become-mil">millionaire teachers</a> and plenty of broke doctors. High-income profession doesn&#8217;t guarantee anything.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Dentist Still Isn&#8217;t Convinced</h2>
Despite the flood of stories, the dentist wasn't ready to back down. &#8220;I just don't see that as possible that 1/4 do that poorly,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;Millionaire by age 60 is not a flex,&#8221; they added. &#8220;Docs need to have more like 5m to be patted on the back.&#8221;
One retired dentist chimed in with a sobering take: &#8220;Docs are the poor of the rich.&#8221;&nbsp;
For the dentist, the financial fate of most doctors should be clear-cut: &#8220;I think every single one of my classmates will hit 1m by 60 as long as they work their career till 60. Even the ones that are complete morons.&#8221;

Reuters Citing Sources Familiar With Trade Talks Say European Officials Increasingly Resigned To 10% Baseline Rate On Reciprocal Tariffs In Any U.S.-EU Trade Deal

Wallbox (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBX#NYSE">WBX</a>), a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, has announced a collaboration with charge point operator PowerGo to accelerate the deployment of AC and DC charging infrastructure across Essendi hotels in the Netherlands. This collaboration brings together Wallbox's advanced charging technology and PowerGo's renewable energy-powered infrastructure to support the country's growing demand for sustainable mobility.
The installations will feature Wallbox's Em4, a robust AC charger designed for high-traffic environments, and Supernova, the company's high-efficiency DC fast charger. Both models are designed to support a seamless user experience, remote management, and integration with renewable energy sources, aligned with PowerGo's green charging solutions.
The collaboration has already reached key milestones, starting with Mercure Amsterdam City, where the first installation became operational. Since May, guests and visitors have been able to charge their EVs at six 22 kW AC charging points, with two 150 kW DC charging points planned to be installed once the upgraded grid connection is in place. In June, Novotel Amsterdam City also became operational, offering two 150 kW DC and six 22 kW AC charging points. These installations mark the beginning of a potential broader rollout within Essendi's hotel portfolio in the Netherlands.
Upcoming installations are expected at multiple hotel locations in the provinces of North Holland and South Holland, including the Ibis and Ibis Budget Amsterdam Airport hotels at Schiphol, as well as the Novotel in Rotterdam Brainpark.

Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) has raised concerns about a major retirement plan provider&#8217;s intent to offer private equity and credit investments within 401(k) accounts.
What Happened: In a letter obtained <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/18/elizabeth-warren-private-equity-empower-401k">by</a> Axios, Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, addressed Empower's CEO, probing the company's rationale for introducing private equity into defined contribution plans.
She asked how the firm determined this move aligns with the best interests of its clients, requested details on investment allocations, and inquired about any legal advice the firm received.
Empower has not yet rolled out the program but has noted plans to include investor safeguards such as fee reductions and liquidity measures.

Why It Matters: Supporters of the shift argue it could offer everyday investors access to high-return opportunities traditionally reserved for wealthy individuals and institutions. The concept gained traction under the Trump administration as a way to democratize investment options.
However, critics like Warren argue it could jeopardize retirement savings due to private equity&#8217;s complex fee structures, limited transparency, and uneven performance record. She also highlighted emerging risks in the private credit market.
In March, reports emerged stating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45536753/trump-eyes-retirement-overhaul-that-could-push-billions-from-401ks-into-high-stakes-private-equity-funds-report">President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;is considering a new executive order</a> that would push U.S. agencies to let private equity firms tap into the country&#8217;s huge&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45298194/interested-in-the-new-super-funding-401k-opportunity-heres-how-to-know-if-you-qualify" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">401(k) savings</a>&nbsp;pool, which is worth almost $9 trillion.

Elizabeth Warren Challenges Plan To Bring Private Equity Into 401(k)s, Citing Transparency And Fee Concerns

In a practical guide published by Ramsey Solutions, financial expert Dave Ramsey's team tells Americans what they need to know about Medicare.
What Happened: "What is Medicare and how does it work?" is a commonly asked question that reflects the anxiety many face when enrolling in Medicare. "So, why does this dang Medicare feel so confusing? Well, it was created by the government so that might be your first clue," Ramsey's <a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/insurance/what-is-medicare">guide</a> begins, moving onto a thorough explanation of how Medicare functions, what it covers, and when to enroll.
The Basics Explained: Medicare is a government-run health insurance program for Americans above 65 years old. It is divided into many parts:
Part A covers hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice, and some types of home care.
Part B includes doctor visits, outpatient care, home health services, and preventive screenings.
Part D helps cover prescription drug costs and certain vaccines.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans, sold by private companies, aid with paying costs not covered by Original Medicare.
The guide explains that seniors have two main options:
Original Medicare (Parts A and B, with optional Part D and Medigap): This offers flexibility to see any provider who accepts Medicare without a referral.
Medicare Advantage (Part C): A bundled plan sold by private insurers that often includes drug coverage, but restricts applicants to network providers and may require referrals.
Ramsey also highlights the difference between Medicare, a federal health insurance for those 65 and older, covering hospital stays, doctor visits, and outpatient care regardless of income, and Medicaid, which is a need-based aid program for low-income individuals, entailing services like nursing home care and helping with Medicare costs.

Why It Matters: Retirees often encounter steep health care costs and complicated choices. The confusing array of options can feel like "staring at a crossword puzzle in a different language," Ramsey's guide notes. It also mentions that that most people find Original Medicare alone insufficient and need to consider supplemental coverage.
Ramsey's guide is a useful read when the topic of Medicaid is making headlines courtesy of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill." The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45558613/house-advances-trumps-sweeping-one-big-beautiful-bill-after-key-medicaid-tax-and-border-security-changes">version of the bill which passed the House</a> contains eligibility requirements that are projected to push <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45716936/speaker-mike-johnson-says-4-8-million-wont-lose-medicaid-unless-they-choose-to-do-so-calls-gop-cuts-an-important-and-frankly-heroic-thing">4.8 million people outside the purview of Medicaid</a>.
On Monday, Senate Republicans presented their version of the bill, which includes policy changes pertaining to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967060/senate-republicans-unveil-trump-tax-and-health-plan-with-5-trillion-debt-ceiling-hike-tighter-medicaid-rules-in-the-big-beautiful-bill">semi-annual&nbsp;Medicaid eligibility redeterminations</a>.

Dave Ramsey Asks, 'Why Does This Dang Medicare Feel So Confusing?'—Blames Government, Then Offers Seniors A Clear Path Forward

Collaboration delivered a successful solution for the most complex known protein folding problem ever executed on a quantum computer
Kipu Quantum, a leader in application and hardware-specific quantum computing solutions, and IonQ (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>), a leading commercial quantum computing and networking company, proudly announced a record achievement: the successful solution of the most complex known protein folding problem ever executed on a quantum computer.
This joint effort is the largest known quantum computation of its kind to-date, and demonstrates the synergy between Kipu's innovative algorithmic framework and IonQ's state-of-the-art hardware.
In their latest study, the teams solved:
<ul>
<li>The largest known protein folding problem solved and executed on quantum hardware, comprising a 3D use case of up to 12 amino acids — an industry record on its own and a promising path towards commercial use of quantum computing for drug discovery.</li>
<li>All-to-all connected spin-glass problems (QUBO) and MAX-4-SAT problems (HUBO) using up to 36 qubits, obtaining optimal solutions in all instances — an industry record for dense digital quantum computing problems executed on quantum hardware.</li>
</ul>
All instances were executed on IonQ's Forte generation systems using Kipu Quantum's flagship BF-DCQO (Bias-Field Digitized Counterdiabatic Quantum Optimization) algorithm. The results advance the frontier of near-term quantum computing and have the potential to make a large impact on biology and drug development.
BF-DCQO provides a non-variational, iterative method that is both accurate and resource-efficient. This algorithm can achieve better solutions with fewer quantum operations in each subsequent iteration. This is especially critical for protein folding, where several long-range interactions are present, making the all-to-all connectivity of IonQ's trapped ion systems an important asset.
