D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced that it has published a new research paper introducing a novel blockchain architecture that uses techniques from its quantum supremacy demonstration. By adding quantum to traditional blockchain computation, the new architecture could enhance blockchain security and efficiency. As part of this research, D-Wave scientists deployed the blockchain architecture across four of its cloud-based annealing quantum computers in Canada and the United States, performing distributed quantum computing for the first time.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced a significant milestone in the development of high-speed, mixed-species quantum logic gates for trapped-ion quantum computing and networking. The findings further the company’s momentum in driving scalable, high-fidelity quantum networking and distributed quantum computing. Detailed in a new paper written by IonQ scientists and co-authored with Australian National University, the research shows a novel approach to achieving an orders-of-magnitude increase in physical gate speed of two-qubit gates between different atomic species.

Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT), a pioneering Japanese technology startup, and QuEra Computing Inc. (QuEra), a U.S.-based leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced a collaborative effort to explore the integration of quantum networking interfaces with neutral-atom Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). This partnership aims to establish a scalable, networked quantum computing architecture, unlocking new possibilities in quantum networking and distributed quantum computing.

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology is off to a good start for TNO. At the forefront of an international partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen, TNO has successfully delivered Germany’s first quantum internet node. In the coming years, Fraunhofer ILT will enhance this node and create the initial regional connections to Jülich and Bonn.

Pritzker Molecular Engineering researchers entangled two physically separate resonators.

Nu Quantum releases a Quantum Error Correction (QEC) theory paper demonstrating how a modular quantum computing architecture of interconnected processors is compatible with high-rate and efficient quantum error correction codes, charting a path towards fault-tolerant distributed quantum computing.
