Alice & Bob, a global frontrunner in the race for fault-tolerant quantum computing, today announced a raise of €100 million in its Series B funding round, led by Future French Champions (FFC), AVP (AXA Venture Partners) and Bpifrance. FFC is a partnership between QIA and Bpifrance.

Fujitsu Limited and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at Osaka University (QIQB) today announced the joint development of two new technologies for the space-time efficient analog rotation quantum computing architecture that will accelerate the realization of practical quantum computing.

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.

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.

Alice & Bob, a leader in fault-tolerant quantum computing, in partnership with the CEA, is set to host an invite-only workshop on Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing (FTQC) at Les Houches School of Physics from April 20 to 25, 2025. This exclusive gathering will feature speakers from some of the most prestigious universities and leading quantum computing companies in the world. Hosting 70 top researchers in quantum computing, condensed matter and theoretical physics, the workshop will provide an immersive overview of current developments and the next frontier of scalable quantum technologies.

QunaSys is proud to announce that it has been awarded funding from the Innovation Fund Denmark as part of the HyperTenQ project, an initiative aimed at advancing quantum computing for chemistry. With an investment of DKK 19 million, this prestigious grant recognizes QunaSys’s leadership in quantum computing and its potential to transform materials science, drug discovery, and sustainable technologies.

Quobly, the pioneering French startup developing large-scale quantum processors based on silicon qubits, is taking a decisive step toward industrialization with the opening of its new quantum chip processing facilities along with new and expanded offices.

IQMQuantum Computers, Riverlane, and Zurich Instruments have announced the launchof the SurgeonQ project, a strategic collaboration to create the first quantumcomputing platform capable of running multiple real-time quantum errorcorrection operations. The project represents progress towards commerciallyviable quantum computing systems.
