QunaSys Inc., a leading innovator in quantum computing technology, recently organized a series of collaborative workshops in partnership with Osaka University, Hiroshima City University, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, and Yokogawa Electric Corporation, aimed at exploring the possibilities of leveraging quantum computing in the drug discovery process.

Q-CTRL, a global leader in developing useful quantum technologies through quantum control infrastructure software, was today announced as a winner of the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Quantum Catalyst Fund Competition. Awarded £1 million in funding, Q-CTRL's winning proposal will deliver new quantum-hardware-optimized algorithmic solvers built on their proprietary performance management software to the Department for Transport and Network Rail. This software will address train schedule optimization for both large-scale rail networks and detailed station routing, bringing a new generation of quantum solutions to pressing government problems.

a leader in neutral atoms quantum computing, and the research team at LINKS reported that they have successfully implemented a noise-resilient, hybrid quantum-classical algorithm that provides the foundations for efficiently solving the Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) assignment problem in cellular networks.

Researchers from quantum error correction company Riverlane and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) will work to develop efficient quantum algorithms for the simulation of plasma dynamics under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program.

The project, promoted by Cinfo and Kipu Quantum on the R infrastructure, applies the computing capacity offered today by quantum computing to the Galician operator’s optical fiber backbone network, examining its robustness and resilience to potential outages and/or critical situations.

Phasecraft – the startup led by top academics developing world-leading quantum algorithms – has developed another record-breaking suite of algorithms that makes simulating materials on quantum computers simpler and more efficient than ever before.

Fujitsu, Nitori Holdings Co., Ltd., and Home Logistics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter Home Logistics) today announced the introduction of a delivery optimization technology utilizing Fujitsu's quantum-inspired Digital Annealer (1) technology for use in distribution centers operated by Home Logistics, a company of the Nitori Group.

Software company Quantum Research Sciences (QRS) has received a $2.5 million, three-year Phase III Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract from the U.S. Air Force to deliver the Department of Defense’s first operational, production-level quantum computing software.

For the first time, Quantinuum researchers have run scalable quantum natural language processing (QNLP) models, able to parse and process real-world data, on a quantum computer.
