Oxford Ionics, a world leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, today announced it is working together with Quanscient, a leading provider of multiphysics simulation software, and aerospace manufacturer Airbus to develop quantum simulations for computational fluid dynamics.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research arm of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has unveiled a quantum-inspired framework that transforms how fluid dynamics simulations are conducted. The work was executed by the Quantum Research Center in collaboration with the Propulsion and Space Research Center, both excellence R&D centers at TII. By leveraging advanced algorithms derived from quantum mechanics principles, this innovation promises to redefine the design processes for aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors.

Quanscient, a startup based in Tampere, Finland and founded in 2021, is launching Quanscient Allsolve, a cloud-native B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) multiphysics simulation platform utilizing the cloud computing power of AWS to accelerate the speed of physics simulations by over 100x.

Quantinuum announces Nexus is about to come out of Beta; Nexus is a comprehensive quantum computing platform designed to manage, store, and execute quantum workflows with integration into Quantinuum’s software and hardware ecosystem.

This year’s Association for Computing Machinery’s Gordon Bell Prize in supercomputing goes to researchers led by the University of Melbourne who used the Frontier supercomputer to conduct a quantum molecular dynamics simulation 1,000 times greater in size and speed than any previous simulation of its kind.

University of Melbourne Associate Professor Giuseppe Barca and his team were named the winners of the Association for Computing Machinery’s Gordon Bell Prize this morning (AEST) at the SC International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in Atlanta, Georgia.

Alice & Bob, a global leader in the race for fault-tolerant quantum computing, has announced the release of Dynamiqs, a pioneering quantum simulation library. Dynamiqs integrates NVIDIA accelerated computing, driving quantum simulations beyond state-of-the-art levels of performance and setting the stage for major breakthroughs in quantum research.

QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced the launch of a comprehensive full-stack quantum algorithm co-design program. This new initiative brings together businesses, research institutions, and QuEra’s team of experts to maximize the potential of current and future quantum computing capabilities. Much like the Apollo 11 guidance computer, where NASA engineers meticulously optimized limited computational resources to achieve remarkable results, QuEra's program aims to unlock significant efficiencies and improve performance through deep collaboration and a full-stack co-design approach. While not akin to landing on the moon, QuEra's co-design program aims to make the most of today's quantum resources to solve challenging problems.

Researchers at Aalto University’s Department of Applied Physics found a new way to create tiny hurricanes of light — known to scientists as vortices — that can carry information. The method is based on manipulating metallic nanoparticles that interact with an electric field. The design method, belonging to a class of geometries known as quasicrystals, was thought up by Doctoral Researcher Kristian Arjas and experimentally realised by Doctoral Researcher Jani Taskinen, both from Professor Päivi Törmä’s Quantum Dynamics group. The discovery represents a fundamental step forward in physics and carries the potential for entirely new ways of transmitting information.

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led by Innsbruck physicist Francesca Ferlaino has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the existence of quantized vortices as system’s response to rotation. They have observed tiny quantum vortices in the supersolid, which also behave differently than previously assumed.
