# Anthropic Uses Claude to Design More Efficient Quantum Circuits

Given plain-language instructions, Claude Mythos 5 designed quantum circuits improving on published baselines by up to an order of magnitude or more.

- The improved circuit efficiency reduces the hardware resources required by quantum algorithms
- The research was conducted through Anthropic's STEM Fellows Program to target applications in chemistry and materials science

## Why it matters

Quantum computing researchers can use natural-language LLMs to optimize circuit architectures beyond existing human baselines.
