WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey” or the “Company”), a global leader in cybersecurity, AI, and Internet of Things (IoT) operating as a holding company, today announces the confirmation of its subsidiary WISeSat.Space’s (“WISeSat”) upcoming satellite launch in partnership with SpaceX. The launch is scheduled for January 14, 2025, from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Quantum computing platform leader Classiq Technologies, Deloitte Tohmatsu Group, a pioneer in the demonstration of quantum computing use cases in industry, and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation are working together to explore materials development in the chemical field, including new organic electroluminescent (EL) materials. Deloitte successfully conducted a demonstration experiment (hereinafter referred to as "this demonstration") to shorten the quantum circuit (calculation logic of the algorithm used on a quantum computer) during development.

Though seemingly inevitable, noise in quantum hardware can be tackled by so-called logical qubits – collections of tens, hundreds or even thousands of actual physical qubits that allow the correction of noise-induced errors. Logical qubits are the holy grail of quantum computing, and quantum hardware builder Infleqtion today published groundbreaking work that used the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform to both design and demonstrate an experiment with two of them.

Jij Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Yu Yamashiro) and ORCA Computing Limited (Headquarters: London, United Kingdom; CEO: Richard Murray) are pleased to announce the establishment of a strategic partnership in quantum computing technology, marking a pioneering collaboration between Japan and the UK.

Physicists from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) have developed an innovative computing system using laser beams and everyday display technology, marking a significant leap forward in the quest for more powerful quantum computing solutions.

New research from the University of Kent has demonstrated that quantum information could eventually be used to coordinate the actions of devices that can move, such as drones or autonomous vehicles. This could lead to more efficient logistics, which could make deliveries cheaper, and better use of limited bandwidth for the likes of self-driving cars.

Quside Technologies S.L. (“Quside”), a startup delivering quantum technologies for safer connectivity and advanced computation, announces the availability of an optimized version of NumPy to accelerate randomized workloads in a broad range of fields, including finance, science, logistics, and pharmaceuticals.

A research team led by Professor Chih-Sung Chuu of the Department of Physics and the Center for Quantum Technology at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Taiwan has recently announced that it has successfully developed the world's smallest quantum computer---using only one photon. This is also the first optical quantum computer developed in Taiwan.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced it has achieved “Awardable” status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.

D-Wave Quantum Inc., a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced the appointments of veteran technology industry leaders, John DiLullo and Rohit Ghai, to its board of directors. The new board members join at a key time for the company, as it executes an aggressive go-to-market strategy designed to rapidly accelerate the adoption of its annealing quantum computing solutions across global businesses, research institutions and government agencies.
