SandboxAQ launched yesterday the world’s first dual-use real-time magnetic navigation system powered by AI and quantum technology (AQ), which can provide real-time location information during uncontrolled operational flights. AQNav is a dual-use military and civilian magnetic navigation system for Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (APNT), offering an unjammable, all-weather, and terrain-agnostic APNT solution.

Intel recently introduced a millikelvin-level low-temperature quantum control chip named "Pando Tree." Intel claims it is the industry's first demonstration of a low-temperature control electronic device capable of controlling spin qubits within a dilution refrigerator. Utilizing Pando Tree's demultiplexing capabilities, Intel needs only about 20 cables to control one million qubits. This innovation represents a significant step forward in addressing the wiring bottleneck that limits the scaling of quantum computing.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (USF) yesterday announced a $20 million grant to CU Boulder to launch a facility known as the National Quantum Nanofab (NQN).  Researchers and quantum experts from Colorado will be able to utilize this facility to design and build incredibly small devices, which will help translate discoveries in the quantum world into technologies that have a greater impact on society.

IBM and Pasqal jointly announced yesterday that they plan to collaborate on developing a common approach to quantum-centric supercomputing and promoting application research in chemistry and materials science. They will work with leading institutions in high-performance computing to integrate quantum computers with advanced classical computers to create the next generation of supercomputers.
