D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced that it has completed the calibration and benchmarking of a 4,400+ qubit Advantage2 processor. This milestone marks a significant step forward in D-Wave’s ongoing development of its sixth-generation annealing quantum computing system. The latest Advantage2 processor shows substantial performance gains over the current AdvantageTM system in solving customers’ complex computational problems in areas such as optimization, AI, and materials science.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced that it is participating in today’s Quantum Technologies Forum hosted by the University of Southern California (USC). D-Wave will present the latest advancements in its annealing quantum computing technology and highlight real-world use cases from both commercial and research customers.

Rigetti UK Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rigetti Computing, Inc. (“Rigetti” or the “Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced that the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) officially opened the doors of its landmark facility on Harwell Campus on October 25. The facility will support world-class quantum computing research and provide state-of-the-art laboratories for designing, building, and testing quantum computers. Rigetti’s system located at the NQCC is a fully operational 24-qubit Ankaa-class quantum computer, featuring tunable couplers and a square lattice for fast gate times, enhanced connectivity, and high fidelity. As part of the implementation, Rigetti will be integrating Riverlane’s technology with the long-term objective of large-scale error correction.

Now, those researchers have determined why they were able to trounce the quantum computer at its own game. Their answer, presented on October 29 in Physical Review Letters, reveals that the quantum problem they tackled — involving a particular two-dimensional quantum system of flipping magnets — displays a behavior known as confinement. This behavior had previously been seen in quantum condensed matter physics only in one-dimensional systems.

Vernewell Group, as part of its Quantum Adoption Program and National Capability Building Initiative, is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with Kipu Quantum and its PlanQK platform under Vernewell’s QInnovision Consortium.

To bring quantum scaling closer to reality, researchers from 14 institutions collaborated through the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), a Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, National Quantum Information Science Research Center. Together, they constructed the ARQUIN framework—a pipeline to simulate large-scale distributed quantum computers as different layers. Their results were published in ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing.

Nu Quantum, a leading quantum networking company, and the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) are announcing Project IDRA – the first phase of a 4-year project to build a pioneering optically connected, multi-node distributed quantum computing system.

Q-CTRL, the global leader in quantum infrastructure software, today announced that its performance-management software, Fire Opal, will be natively integrated into four of the world's most advanced quantum computing platforms — IBM Quantum services, Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services (QCS), Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) Cloud QCaaS devices, and Diraq’s Silicon quantum processors.
