Adding renewable energy and energy storage capacity brings an added layer of complexity to traditional electrical grid systems. Balancing supply and demand of energy for power systems, even under uncertain conditions, may be solved using quantum computing technology, according to Rochester Institute of Technology faculty-researcher Bing Yan.

Infineon Technologies AG, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, and Quantinuum, a global leader in integrated, full-stack quantum computing, today announced a strategic partnership to develop the future generation of ion traps. This partnership will drive the acceleration of quantum computing and enable progress in fields such as generative chemistry, material science, and artificial intelligence.

Bluefors today announced the immediate availability of a XLDHe High Power System – a cryogen-free, helium-4 powered measurement system that delivers extremely high cooling power for experiments in the 1 K temperature range. The XLDHehp is ideal for demanding applications such as spin qubit quantum computing devices, or single photon detectors for photonic quantum computers.

A new quantum computing-based optimization framework developed at Cornell could reduce energy consumption in large data centers handling artificial intelligence (AI) workloads by as much as 12.5% and reduce their carbon emissions by as much as 9.8%.

A research team headed by chemists at the University of California, Irvine has discovered a previously unknown way in which light interacts with matter, a finding that could lead to improved solar power systems, light-emitting diodes, semiconductor lasers and other technological advancements.

Xanadu (xanadu.ai), a world leader in photonic quantum computing is partnering with two leading Canadian universities and several industry partners for a collaborative project to advance research at the intersection of quantum technologies, cybersecurity, deep learning, and smart grids. The project, generously funded through a prestigious joint NSERC Alliance-Mitacs Accelerate grant, has the potential to make substantial contributions to Canada's quantum landscape, addressing critical gaps in training, education, and technology transfer.
