Researchers have successfully demonstrated the UK’s first long-distance ultra-secure transfer of data over a quantum communications network, including the UK’s first long-distance quantum-secured video call. The team, from the Universities of Bristol and Cambridge, created the network, which uses standard fibreoptic infrastructure, but relies on a variety of quantum phenomena to enable ultra-secure data transfer.

CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society specializing in scientific content and knowledge management, and Cleveland Clinic, an academic health system with a global footprint, announced plans for a strategic collaboration that will unite the organizations’ unique expertise, technology, and data capabilities to fuel clinical research.

Quantum computers are a specter for future data security because they might break many of today’s encryption methods. Among other things, this will affect encrypted emails, messenger services, or online banking. Together with partners, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a method that can reliably protect today’s Internet communication from tomorrow’s quantum technology threats.

Apolitical is launching a new course for decision-makers in government, with support from Google Quantum AI. The course, “Quantum Computing: Understanding the Technology and its Implications,” features a diverse range of experts covering the most important issues in quantum computing development.

Bosch is now significantly extending this alliance and establishing a joint venture, to be known as Bosch Quantum Sensing. The joint venture will be based on the in-house start-up of the same name, which Bosch set up in 2022. Domiciled in Ludwigsburg, Germany, Bosch Quantum Sensing currently employs 30 associates. Bosch itself will be the lead partner and be responsible for operations. Element Six will hold a 25 percent stake. It has been agreed that further financial details will not be disclosed. The establishment of the new company is still subject to official approval.

In a major step toward scalable quantum computing, Atlantic Quantum has been named as a Stage A performer in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). This prestigious program aims to rigorously verify and validate quantum computing approaches for utility-scale operation by 2033.

A quantum science and engineering graduate student at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, Menon and his colleagues in the lab of Hannes Bernien discovered how to combine two powerful technologies – trapped atom arrays and photonic devices – to yield advanced systems for quantum computing.

QC Ware, a leading provider of industry-disrupting quantum technology, quantum-inspired machine learning, and quantum chemistry simulation solutions, today announced the 2025 Q2B Tokyo Conference (Q2B25) taking place May 15-16, 2025.

Professor Thomas Vidick joined EPFL in late 2024. He works on problems at the interface of quantum information, theoretical computer science and cryptography. Thomas Vidick discovered quantum mechanics at the Master’s level and thought it was fascinating.

Yawen Peng, a PhD candidate in electrical and computer engineering, is the first recipient of the new Samit & Reshma Sharma foundation scholarship, which supports Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) graduate studies with significant practical impact in quantum information research.
