May 13, 2024 -- D-Wave Quantum Inc. , and the University of Southern California (USC) today announced a renewed multiyear partnership. Under the agreement, the USC Viterbi School of Engineering will continue to house a D-Wave state-of-the-art Advantage™ quantum computer, facilitating ongoing exploration and adoption of annealing quantum computing solutions for businesses, researchers, and government.

The application developed by nodeQ simplifies the migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography for SMEs and large enterprises.

Riverlane has been selected for Phase 2 of the Quantum Benchmarking program funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The aim of the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking program is to design key quantum computing metrics for practically relevant problems and estimate the required quantum and classical resources needed to reach critical performance thresholds.

Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) today announced the addition of performance testing capability for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) system deployments. Introducing cryptographic protocols can create additional network performance overhead, ultimately affecting end-user quality of experience.

Using mathematical concepts first developed for highly specialized calculations in quantum physics and quantum information science, Zapata AI has implemented an innovative alternative to Monte Carlo simulations that dramatically reduces the time required to run these crucial calculations, while reducing their costs as well. In some scenarios, we’ve demonstrated that our method can provide a speed up of over 8,000x the time it takes to run a comparable Monte Carlo simulation using traditional techniques on the same computational hardware.

A Franco-Singaporean collaboration has been announced to benchmark and optimize the energy efficiency of quantum computing. The partnership includes Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced computing, A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) in Singapore, and MajuLab, an international research laboratory in quantum physics. Majulab is a joint laboratory of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Université Côte d’Azur (UCA), Sorbonne University (SU), National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Terra Quantum, a leading quantum technology company, today announced TQCompressor, an algorithm that shrinks large language models (LLMs) while maintaining comparable performance to address the growing demands of generative AI models.

Riverlane, the global leader in quantum error correction technology, and Rigetti, a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced their participation in a project led by the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to explore the challenges of integrating a quantum computer with a large-scale, supercomputing centre.

Riverlane, the global leader in quantum error correction technology, has been awarded a contract alongside Rigetti Computing, a pioneer in full stack quantum classical computing, to integrate elements of its Quantum Error Correction Stack into a new quantum computing testbed solution being built for the UK government.

The SandboxAQ Security Suite is an end-to-end, cryptographic-agility platform that provides a full inventory of existing cryptography use, including vulnerability and compliance analysis, as well as a path to centrally-managed, robust and agile cryptography. The result is protection from today’s attacks, as well as security against the future threat of a large-scale quantum computer.
