The future of data security depends on the reliable application of quantum technology, but its widespread adoption requires rigorous verification. Researchers in Japan have developed a novel approach to verify quantum protocols, ensuring their reliability in safety- and security-critical applications. This advancement addresses the need for trustworthy quantum systems, which is essential for the secure deployment of quantum technologies in high-reliability systems.

Nu Quantum, the leading quantum entanglement startup, is adopting CERN-born White Rabbit (WR) technology to enable data-centre scale quantum computing networks. WR enables highly precise timing synchronisation which is crucial for developing large-scale quantum networks. Nu Quantum is the first quantum industrial partner to join the WR Collaboration. The Nu Quantum team will also be previewing their Quantum Networking Unit (QNU) at the National Quantum Technology Showcase in London, a technology that will enable multiple quantum computing nodes to be woven together into a distributed quantum computing machine. This approach is essential to scale-out quantum computing and unlock transformative computational power to tackle outstanding challenges in industry and society.

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.

Welinq, a pioneering modular quantum computing company, is proud to announce the formation of its Scientific Advisory Board, composed of four of the world’s most influential figures in quantum science. This esteemed board will guide Welinq’s strategic direction and R&D efforts, positioning the company at the forefront of modular quantum computing—a critical architecture for the future of distributed quantum computing.

Researchers at Purdue University have trapped alkali atoms (cesium) on an integrated photonic circuit, which behaves like a transistor for photons (the smallest energy unit of light) similar to electronic transistors. These trapped atoms demonstrate the potential to build a quantum network based on cold-atom integrated nanophotonic circuits. The team, led by Chen-Lung Hung, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the Purdue University College of Science, published their discovery in the American Physical Society’s Physical Review X.

Photonic Inc., a leader in distributed quantum computing in silicon, today announced it is scaling up its executive leadership team with industry forerunners in the areas of research and development, materials science, quantum technologies, marketing, human resources and legal.

In a landmark advancement for quantum networking, Welinq, a pioneering company in quantum interconnects, is delighted to announce the awarding of a highly-competitive EIC Transition grant of 2.5M€.
