Alongside artificial intelligence, quantum computing is one of the fastest-growing subsets in the high-performance computing community. But what happens when this relatively new and powerful computing method reaches the limit of the cyberinfrastructure and network security capabilities of today? Researchers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications are addressing this issue before it becomes a problem.

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, is pleased to announce significant progress as it approaches the final commissioning of its quantum photonic chip foundry, set to open in Q1 2025. In September, QCi launched a pilot program aimed at securing sales orders from early adopters for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) foundry services and establishing a unified ecosystem for producing high-performance and energy efficient photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and nanophotonic devices.

Batch Freight (BATCH), a trailblazing logistics technology company, is transforming the freight industry through its innovative combination of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Through its Advanced Trucking & Logistics Automation System (ATLAS), a subscription base offering of its next generation transportation management system, BATCH is establishing new standards in freight pricing accuracy, speed, and comprehensiveness.

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and Intel Corporation have joined forces in a research project, which aims to transform the field of ultra-low-power electronics (or electronics with ultra-low power consumption levels) with the long-term goal of achieving a 90% reduction in power consumption. To achieve this, the project, entitled SWITCHON, will study the use of ferroelectric materials in next-generation electronic devices.

The global edge computing market is expected to grow by more than 30 percent in the next five years, serving mission-critical applications in the aerospace, defense, military, industrial and medical sectors. To meet this increasing demand for reliable, embedded solutions for mixed-criticality systems, Microchip Technology has announced the PIC64HX family of microprocessors (MPUs). Unlike traditional MPUs, the PIC64HX is purpose built to address the unique demands of intelligent edge designs.

BTQ Technologies Corp., a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Hunter Scharfe as Senior Advisor, effective October 1, 2024.

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.

QuantrolOx is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Anyon Technologies, a hardware-focused startup specializing in the development of state-of-the-art highly scalable modular quantum computing systems based on a comprehensive suite of differentiating proprietary technologies including novel high-performance superconducting quantum processor gate and control architecture, quantum networking protocol, real-time dynamic control electronics, and cryogenics.

SEALSQ Corp today announced that it is positioning itself at the forefront of defense against adversarial quantum attacks with cutting-edge post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. As quantum-computing brings a paradigm shift in computational power by harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics, the need for enhanced security has never been greater.

To speed up the puzzle-fitting process, researchers at SMU have created SmartCADD. This open-source virtual tool combines artificial intelligence, quantum mechanics and Computer Assisted Drug Design (CADD) techniques to speed up the screening of chemical compounds, significantly reducing drug discovery timelines. In a recent study published in the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, researchers demonstrated SmartCADD’s ability to identify promising HIV drug candidates.
