The Integrated Quantum Networks Hub will address the challenges underpinning the establishment of a “quantum internet”, by developing the novel technologies, protocols and industry standards necessary for the deployment of a secure, scalable, quantum communications infrastructure for the UK and beyond.

Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation (Toshiba), the Toshiba Group company of digital and quantum technology businesses, alongside its strategic partner SpeQtral, a leading quantum communications technology company, have announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ST Engineering, a global technology, defence and engineering group, to formalize their strategic alliance and strengthen their go-to-market strategy for quantum-secure communications solutions in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced that it has been selected for the first stage of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). This program is designed to assess and validate the feasibility of developing industrially useful quantum computers ahead of conventional projections. With a demonstrated track record of innovation and real-world quantum applications, IonQ will help inform industry standards.

Crypto4A Technologies, a pioneer in quantum-safe and crypto-agile security solutions, is excited to announce that its QASM hardware cryptographic core and v5.0 firmware —powering its QxHSM and QxEDGE products—has been added to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) Module In Process (MIP) list for FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.

Cloudflare, Inc., the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced that it is expanding end-to-end support for post-quantum cryptography to its Zero Trust Network Access solution. Available immediately, organizations can securely route communications from web browsers to corporate web applications to gain immediate, end-to-end quantum-safe connectivity. By mid-2025, Cloudflare will extend this support to include all IP protocols, significantly broadening compatibility across most corporate applications and devices. With this, organizations will be able to rely on Cloudflare to transition their Internet communications between users, devices, and applications to post-quantum cryptography without the complexity of individually upgrading each corporate application or system.

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, announced today a significant milestone in its Quantum Roadmap with the advancement of Quantum Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (“Quantum ASIC”) projects across multiple countries, including France, India, Spain, and USA. This strategic initiative underscores SEALSQ’s commitment to innovation in the post-quantum era, delivering secure and high-performance semiconductor solutions tailored for emerging quantum-resistant applications.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, announced the completion of its next-generation ion trap vacuum package prototype intended to realize smaller, more compact, room temperature quantum systems. The company has completed a state-of-the-art assembly chamber capable of manufacturing miniaturized ion trap vacuum packages that can sustain Extreme High Vacuum (XHV) – levels that are comparable to the vacuum levels found on the surface of the Moon.

Planqc plans to design the first fully programmable quantum computers in collaboration with the DLR and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre by 2027, with the goal of miniaturizing them. The company has access to EUR 87 million in funding for this project. Research is currently underway to determine which computations quantum computers can perform faster than conventional computers. At the moment, applications are being explored in fluid dynamics, such as turbine optimization, materials development, and climate research.
