Xanadu has achieved a world-first in the quantum computing industry by successfully building a universal photonic quantum computer consisting of four modular and independent server racks that are photonically interconnected and networked together. This 12 qubit machine, known as Aurora, consists of 35 photonic chips and a combined 13 km of fiber optics all operating at room temperature.

In September Microsoft announced their collaboration with Atom Computing to build the world’s most powerful quantum machine, and create a unique commercial offering which is available for order today. Just two months after this announcement they are excited to share the news that together they have now entangled 24 logical qubits, setting a new world record. They also jointly demonstrated error detection, correction, and computation with 28 logical qubits on Atom’s flagship systems.

IQM Quantum Computers (IQM), a global leader in superconducting quantum computing, today announced its development roadmap with technical milestones targeting fault tolerant quantum computing by 2030, while enabling a dedicated Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) approach for near-term usage.

Diraq, a global leader in quantum computing based on silicon CMOS quantum dots continues to drive groundbreaking innovations in the field of scalable quantum computing. Today, The team successfully demonstrated consistent and repeatable operation with above 99% fidelity of two-qubit gates in the SiMOS (silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor) quantum dot platform.

Quantinuum, the world’s largest integrated quantum computing company, together with Microsoft, has achieved a breakthrough in making fault tolerant quantum computing a reality, by demonstrating the most reliable logical qubits with active syndrome extraction, an achievement previously believed to be years away from realization.

In a webinar presentation today, French quantum hardware manufacturer Pasqal has released a roadmap for its hardware and software development and also has described some of the early customers and applications who are working with their neutral atom based machine. The company has an aggressive schedule for improving their hardware along several fronts including the number of qubits, repetition rate, gate operations per calculation, hours of QPU availability, and software features. They are also working to expand the number of manufacturing facilities with a new one in Sherbrooke, Quebec slated to build and deliver a machine to its first customer later this year. Pasqal is currently working with over 50 customers who are testing out their applications and the company hopes that some of them will be able to move their application to regular production by 2025.

Quantinuum, the industry leader in quantum computing with the world’s most powerful quantum computer, has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense, to participate in the first stage of the agency’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI).

Quantum computing is entering a phase where it is demonstrating its ability to handle industrial use cases more efficiently than even the most advanced classical technologies. This phase signals the industrial-scale adoption of these technologies, a trend for which Pasqal is preparing itself as it seeks to reinforce its position as a global leader. In this context, Pasqal announces a new management structure that will accelerate the development and deployment of its technology.

QC Design has achieved a GPU-acceleration breakthrough in Plaquette, its state-of-the-art software for designing and optimizing fault tolerance architectures. By collaborating with NVIDIA to integrate the NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK, Plaquette now leverages the cuTensorNet library to perform high-performance, full-state simulations of fault-tolerant quantum circuits. This advancement dramatically enhances fault-tolerant design, enabling simulations at unprecedented scale and performance.

Jacobs was selected by PsiQuantum to deliver master planning, schematic design, and owner's engineer services for what is poised to be one of the world's first utility-scale, fault tolerant quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia.
