In an exciting development for quantum computing, researchers from the University of Chicago’s Department of Computer Science, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, and Argonne National Laboratory have introduced a groundbreaking classical algorithm that simulates Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) experiments. This achievement not only helps clarify the complexities of current quantum systems but also represents a significant step forward in our understanding of how quantum and classical computing can work together.

Diraq, a global leader in quantum computing based on silicon CMOS quantum dots continues to drive groundbreaking innovations in the field of scalable quantum computing. Today, The team successfully demonstrated consistent and repeatable operation with above 99% fidelity of two-qubit gates in the SiMOS (silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor) quantum dot platform.

Quantum Circuits, Inc., announced it has secured a final Series B investment round of more than $60 million, providing additional capital support as the company prepares to commercialize its quantum systems with an industry first – error detection built into a more powerful qubit for scalable, higher-fidelity computing.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), DBS, HSBC, OCBC, UOB, SPTel and SpeQtral today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to embark on quantum security collaboration and study the application of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) [1] in financial services. QKD can help financial institutions (FIs) protect the exchange of cryptographic keys to address the cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computing.

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from a quantum computer.

Realizing practical advantages and societal benefits from quantum-scale phenomena has been a long-sought milestone in quantum information science. The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced the initial $5 million investment across five pilot projects designed to help reach that milestone by taking the first steps toward creating the NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL), a first-of-its-kind national resource to enable faster discovery and development of use-inspired quantum technologies.

A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), led by Prof. PAN Jianwei, ZHANG Qiang, and CHEN Kai, in collaboration with CHEN Jingling from Nankai University, has achieved the loophole-free test of Hardy's paradox for the first time.

Singtel today announced the launch of Southeast Asia’s first National Quantum-Safe Network Plus (NQSN+), which employs modern quantum security solutions to protect enterprises against quantum threats, as well as a customised programme for enterprises to trial the technology before adoption.

Researchers at TMOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, and their collaborators at RMIT University have developed a new 2D quantum sensing chip using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) that can simultaneously detect temperature anomalies and magnetic field in any direction in a new, groundbreaking thin-film format.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced a new breakthrough towards running large applications on near term quantum systems using partial error correction. The technique is an order of magnitude more efficient than the best error correction techniques known today.
