Zero Point Cryogenics is proud to announce that it has successfully secured $2.67 million CAD in non-dilutive funding to unlock the next phase of its rapid development plan. The funding comprises $1.95 million from PrairiesCan’s Regional Quantum Initiative and $723,500 from the City of Edmonton’s Edge Fund.

Researchers at QuTech have found a way to make Majorana particles in a two-dimensional plane. This was achieved by creating devices that exploit the combined material properties of superconductors and semiconductors. The inherent flexibility of this new 2D platform should allow one to perform experiments with Majoranas that were previously inaccessible. The results are published in Nature.

SpeQtral, SafeQuantum, Antaris and QTD Systems announce the establishment of a satellite Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) receiver node at the historic carrier hotel data center building, 60 Hudson Street in New York City. This strategic initiative aims to enable the secure establishment of quantum keys between Singapore, the United States and Europe, enabling quantum-safe communications that will safeguard global financial transactions.

Berkeley Lab researchers demonstrate a programmable approach to fabricating optical qubits in silicon for large-scale manufacturing.

A highly sensitive diamond quantum magnetometer utilizing nitrogen-vacancy centers can achieve millimeter-scale resolution magnetoencephalography (MEG), as reported by scientists from Tokyo Tech. The novel magnetometer, based on continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance, marks a significant step towards realizing ambient condition MEG and other practical applications.

IBM and Pasqal, as leaders in superconducting circuit and neutral atom-based quantum computers respectively, today announced their intent to partner to develop a common approach to quantum-centric supercomputing and promoting application research in chemistry and materials science.

The new Centre for Responsible Quantum Innovation and Technology looks to foster a culture of responsible innovation across the quantum ecosystem in Canada and around the world.

New research has given the clearest ever picture of young children’s developing brains, using a wearable brain scanner to map electrical brain activity. The work opens up new possibilities for tracking how critical developmental milestones, like walking and talking, are underpinned by changing brain function, and how neurodevelopmental conditions like autism emerge.

Quantinuum’s H-Series combines full scalability with market-leading fidelity, performance, and error correction capabilities. In a demonstration with JPMorgan Chase & Co., Quantinuum’s H2-1 with 56 qubits achieved a massive uplift in an iconic demonstration.

Q-CTRL, a pioneer of quantum infrastructure software to make quantum technologies useful, today announced newly published results that demonstrate a boost of more than 4X in the size of an optimization problem that can be accurately solved, shown for the first time on a cloud-based, utility-scale IBM quantum computer and outperforming competitive annealer and trapped ion technologies.
