  "account": "In 2008, Scott Aaronson and Andris Ambainis proposed the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture, a significant question in quantum computing. This conjecture deals with when quantum computers can be exponentially faster than classical computers. In August 2026, researchers at Physical Superintelligence (PSI) claimed to have found a proof for this long-standing conjecture using a non-public Anthropic model. The proof, developed internally by PSI, resolved a fundamental question in quantum computing that had been open since 2008.",
