In research inspired by the principles of quantum mechanics, researchers from Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and the University of Oxford reveal new findings to understand why the human brain is able to make decisions quicker than the world’s most powerful computer in the face of a critical risk situation. The human brain has this capacity despite the fact that neurons are much slower at transmitting information than microchips, which raises numerous unknown factors in the field of neuroscience.

Quantum Brilliance, a global leader in mass-deployable, room-temperature diamond quantum technology, and Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre today announced a significant milestone in quantum computing integration. The collaboration has resulted in the development of a tightly integrated, HPC-oriented, flexible and scalable hybrid workflow that seamlessly combines GPU, CPU, and quantum processing capabilities. This breakthrough, led by Dr. Pascal Elahi and the Pawsey quantum team, demonstrates a practical path toward incorporating quantum computing into real-world applications.

Telefónica announced today during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) the creation of a Centre of Excellence dedicated to quantum technologies, around which the company’s internal governance model within this field of knowledge will revolve. The announcement was made during the session ‘Present and future of Telefónica networks’, presented in the Agora of the company’s stand by Enrique Blanco, global CTIO of Telefónica, and Andrea Folgueiras, CTIO of Telefónica Hispam and global GCTIO of the company from April.

The Spanish government’s Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, announced on Tuesday that the government will become a shareholder of San Sebastian-based Multiverse Computing with a co-investment of 67 million euros.

Today, ID Quantique (IDQ), SK Group, Korea’s leading ICT company and IonQ, a leader in quantum computing and networking, announced that they have reached a definitive agreement for IonQ to acquire a controlling stake of IDQ, a global leader in quantum safe networking and quantum detection systems

A low-energy challenger to the quantum computer that also works at room temperature may be the result of research at the University of Gothenburg. The researchers have shown that information can be transmitted using magnetic wave motion in complex networks.
