ORCA Computing announced its recognition by Bloomberg UK as a 2024 Startup to Watch. Bloomberg UK’s Startups to Watch canvassed the UK to find 25 startups that represent the diversity and innovation of the country’s startup scene.

Riverlane, the global leader in quantum error correction technology, in partnership with Resonance, today released the first-of-its-kind Quantum Error Correction Report 2024. Highlighting critical insights and trends that will aid the quantum industry’s navigation through its newest phase, the ‘QEC era,’ the report marks the pivotal steps needed to advance quantum computing from the experimental stages to real-world applications.

Quantum Dice, a University of Oxford spin-out pioneering quantum random number generator (QRNG) technology, and SCI Semiconductor, a UK-based developer of high-integrity silicon devices, today announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU). This MoU reflects their shared vision to develop joint solutions to target advanced security systems across sectors with high-integrity requirements, including smart energy and critical infrastructure, aerospace and defense, telecommunications, automotive, industry 4.0, and medical domains.

Oxford Ionics, a world leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, today announced that it is one of eight companies participating in a quantum trade mission to the United States, organised by the UK’s Department of Business & Trade.

Oxford Ionics, a world leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, today announced it has appointed Chris Goodings as its VP Engineering. Chris will oversee the company’s growing technical departments, including its Quantum Science & Engineering, Quantum Infrastructure, and Software Development teams.

Professor Stephen Blundell from the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford has been awarded the 2024 Institute of Physics Lawrence Bragg Medal and Prize. The IOP gold medal recognises Professor Blundell’s contributions to physics scholarship and education through the publication of widely-used and influential physics textbooks.

The research by scientists at the University of York could lead to significant improvements in position emission tomography (PET) scans, widely used in diagnosing cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

The University of Sheffield has opened a new ultra-low temperature facility for dark matter and qubit research, providing a hub for students in the UK and expanding the scope of quantum technology research at the university. The University selected the ProteoxMX, a state-of-the-art dilution refrigerator and superconducting magnet manufactured by Oxford Instruments NanoScience for its facility.

Nu Quantum announces today a milestone that for the first time opens the door to modular, distributed quantum computers of different qubit modalities and providers: a proof-of-principle prototype that will enable quantum computers to be connected to a quantum network. This technology, a Qubit-Photon Interface, is the equivalent of today’s Network Interface Cards (NICs), which today connect every single computer in a data centre together, and have enabled the Cloud and AI markets.

Dr. Habib Rostami, from the Department of Physics at the University of Bath, has co-authored pioneering research published in Advanced Science. This study involved an international collaboration between an experimental team at Friedrich Schiller University Jena in Germany and theoretical teams at the University of Pisa in Italy and the University of Bath in the UK. The research aimed to investigate the ultrafast opto-electronic and thermal tuning of nonlinear optics in graphene.
