Ericsson and the Government of Canada today announced the signing of an expanded funding agreement that will see Ericsson invest more than CAD $630 million in its Canadian R&D operations, a substantial increase from last year’s announcement. This funding increase will further enhance Ericsson’s R&D capabilities at its research facilities in Ottawa and Montreal creating and upskilling hundreds of jobs and internships and strengthening these sites as global leaders in 5G Advanced, 6G, AI, Cloud RAN, quantum, and network API technologies.

SEALSQ Corp("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today is hosting a webinar titled "The Day After Tomorrow: IoT Security in the Post-Quantum Age." This event will showcase SEALSQ's latest advancements in post-quantum technologies and address critical questions from clients and industry leaders about the future of security in the quantum era.

RRI which developed the technology for precision laser systems required for quantum enabled-technology applications and industrial uses, recently awarded the license to nexAtom Research and Instruments, the first spin-off company from RRI. This spinoff company will soon commence production of the multi-channel, tunable laser system technology platforms. RRI has filed a provisional Indian patent for ‘Standalone laser system with frequency tunability and precision control’.

In September, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $65 million in funding for research to advance quantum computing at more than 20 institutions across the nation. Among the awardees were three scientists at DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory. The researchers will lead Argonne teams that are contributing to multi-institutional projects focused on quantum algorithms and software, demonstrating quantum computing’s capability for solving scientific research problems.

The University of Basel and QuantumBasel have agreed to collaborate to further develop the Center for Quantum Computing and Quantum Coherence (QC2) at the Department of Physics into a leading center of excellence for quantum computing and to strengthen the bridge between cutting-edge research and industrial applications in quantum computing. This partnership will enhance the cluster of quantum research in the Basel region and drive the development of quantum algorithms and their practical application. This will strengthen Switzerland's position in the international race for the leading role in technology.

Oxford Ionics, a world leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, today announced that it is one of eight companies participating in a quantum trade mission to the United States, organised by the UK’s Department of Business & Trade.

A research team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has devised a unique method to observe changes in materials at the atomic level. The technique opens new avenues for understanding and developing advanced materials for quantum computing and electronics.

Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced computing today announces having signed a partnership with IQM Quantum Computers – a global leader in designing, building, and selling superconducting quantum computers – to make quantum computing a reality across businesses and organizations.

In collaboration with Florida A&M University, Kennesaw State will create nine training modules with hands-on labs covering key quantum computing concepts and their applications in computer science and industrial engineering. These modules will be integrated into existing courses, accompanied by faculty workshops and student training camps, ultimately enhancing research and creating diverse communities in QML.
