STMicroelectronics has introduced hardware cryptographic accelerators and associated software libraries for general-purpose and secure microcontrollers, ready for future generations of embedded systems to resist quantum attacks.

PsiQuantum today announces Omega, a quantum photonic chipset purpose-built for utility-scale quantum computing. Featured in a newly published paper in Nature, the chipset contains all the advanced components required to build million-qubit-scale quantum computers and deliver on the profoundly world-changing promise of this technology. Every photonic component is demonstrated with beyond-state-of-the-art performance. The paper shows high-fidelity qubit operations, and a simple, long-range chip-to-chip qubit interconnect – a key enabler to scale that has remained challenging for other technologies. The chips are made in a high-volume semiconductor fab, representing a new level of technical maturity and scale in a field that is often thought of as being confined to research labs. PsiQuantum will break ground this year on two datacenter-sized Quantum Compute Centers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago, Illinois.

Quantum Brilliance (QB), a global leader in mass deployable, room temperature diamond quantum technology, today announced that it raised USD $20 million in its Series A funding round to accelerate the company’s mission to deliver quantum devices for applications across sectors.

Expanding what’s possible for developers and enterprises in the cloud, NVIDIA and Amazon Web Services are converging at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas this week to showcase new solutions designed to accelerate AI and robotics breakthroughs and simplify research in quantum computing development.

planqc has been selected to lead a €20 million project to build and deploy a 1,000-qubit quantum computer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching near Munich. This advanced quantum computer, based on neutral atoms, will be integrated into LRZ’s high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, serving as an accelerator for scientific research and towards industrial applications.

The procurement contract for the EuroQCS-France quantum computer, Lucy, has been signed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the selected French-German vendor partnership, including Quandela and attocube. Lucy will be a digital, MOSAIQ-12 photonic quantum computer, offering 12 physical qubits.

The ion-trap quantum computer from Alpine Quantum Technologies, procured by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre and Munich Quantum Valley, is now operational at LRZ's Quantum Integration Centre, making it the first of its kind in a computing center.

An international research team led by scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder, has demonstrated key elements of a nuclear clock. A nuclear clock is a novel type of timekeeping device that would use signals from the core, or nucleus, of an atom. The team used a specially designed ultraviolet laser to precisely measure the frequency of an energy jump in thorium nuclei embedded in a solid crystal.

Quantum Flagship unveils new roadmap with calls to end reliance on outside nations for developing essential components and hardware and position Europe as the world’s first ‘Quantum Valley’. Quantum experts met policymakers and representatives at the European Commission in Brussels today to present the new Strategic Research and Industry Agenda SRIA 2030: Roadmap and Quantum Ambitions over this Decade.
