SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) market is poised for rapid growth as enterprises and governments urgently seek solutions to protect critical infrastructure from future quantum threats.

Quantum computing is set to revolutionize technology, but it also presents a significant security risk for financial institutions. Czech cybersecurity startup Wultra has raised €3 million from Tensor Ventures, Elevator Ventures, and J&T Ventures to accelerate the development of its post-quantum authentication technology, safeguarding banks and fintech against the coming wave of quantum threats.

With graduate degrees from some of the most prestigious institutions in Europe, research stints at Harvard University and Rice University; and a post as scientist at the Center for Optical Quantum Technologies at the University of Hamburg in Germany, Dr. Rick Mukherjee now has a new distinction for his resume: inaugural director of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Quantum Center.

The EQUSPACE consortium (Enabling New Quantum Frontiers with Spin Acoustics in Silicon) has received 3.2 million euros from the European Innovation Council's (EIC) Pathfinder Open funding program to advance the development of silicon-based quantum technologies. In addition to the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the project brings together four other partners from three EU countries and convenes experts from the fields of spin qubits, optomechanics and atomic silicon modifications to develop a novel silicon-based quantum platform.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, will be presenting at CES 2025 this week, marking a key milestone as the event launches its first-ever dedicated quantum track: “Quantum Means Business: A Quantum World Congress Program.” CES is one of the world’s most influential technology events, showcasing the latest innovations that have shaped the future of technology for over 50 years.

Since their establishment in 2020, the five U.S. Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Centers. or NQISRCs, have been expanding the frontier of what’s possible in quantum computing, communication, sensing and materials in ways that will advance basic science for energy, security, communication and logistics. The centers have strengthened the national quantum information science. or QIS, ecosystem, achieving scientific and technological breakthroughs as well as training the next-generation quantum workforce.

IonQ , an industry leader in the quantum computing and networking industry, today announced its inclusion in the prestigious “Newsweek Excellence 1000 Index 2025,” a global ranking that recognizes the most innovative and customer-centric companies across industries who are balancing financial success with ethical practices, social responsibility and global sustainability. This accolade highlights IonQ’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and delivering real-world impact through quantum solutions.

By partnering with SpinQ, TII successfully addressed its quantum research challenges, achieved cost efficiencies, and ensured the smooth progression of its projects. This collaboration highlights SpinQ's role in advancing quantum computing innovation on the global stage, contributing to the broader quantum ecosystem.

Quantum computing offers solutions to highly complex problems and drives innovation in areas such as medicine, logistics and finance. Together with the start-up QMware, the Johannes Kepler University Linz is playing a pioneering role in this field.

Dr Florian Kaiser, Head of the Quantum Materials group at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant worth €3 million over a five-year period. This grant will fund the research project, “Q-Chip”, which aims to demonstrate that quantum processors and quantum memories can be operated simultaneously on a single chip, thus overcoming existing scalability challenges in quantum technologies.
