SECQAI, a UK-based ultra-secure hardware and software company and member of the NATO DIANA initiative, today announces the launch of the world’s first hybrid Quantum Large Language Model (QLLM).

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that is integrating WISeAI’s decentralized model into its end-to-end quantum platform, creating a secure, transparent, and equitable AI boosted by quantum computing.

The global SuperC consortium wants to realize a superconductor capable of operating at room temperature within a decade. If all its objectives are met, it will have a huge impact on global energy consumption. Grand challenges such as achieving room-temperature superconductivity require a truly collaborative approach. The project will be done by a consortium of 11 top-level research teams from universities in Finland, including University of Jyväskylä, EU and USA. SuperC is coordinated by Aalto University in Finland.

Rice University physicist Emilia Morosan is part of an international research collaboration that has been awarded multimillion-dollar funding from The Kavli Foundation to develop and test next-generation superconductors through artificial intelligence and quantum geometry. This global initiative, spearheaded by Päivi Törmä of Aalto University in Finland, seeks to push the boundaries of quantum materials science and superconductivity.

SoftBank Corp. ("SoftBank") and Quantinuum ("Quantinuum") announced they agreed to a wide-ranging partnership in quantum computing. By combining their respective strengths, both companies will unlock innovative quantum computing solutions that will overcome the limitations of classical artificial intelligence (AI) and realize next-generation technologies.

Purdue University-connected software company Quantum Research Sciences (QRS) has received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research contract from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which contracts, purchases, distributes, stores and disposes of items for the Department of Defense.

QCentroid, a leader in quantum computing solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Innsomnia, Spain’s premier innovation accelerator, to bring the transformative power of quantum technology to Innsomnia’s ecosystem of startups, scaleups, and corporate innovators. This collaboration will allow users to access QCentroid’s QuantumOps platform to solve complex problems faster, more efficiently, and at a lower cost—without requiring specialized quantum expertise.

Amid headlines about corporations investing in nuclear power plants to meet the insatiable energy needs of AI workloads, two companies, Multiverse Computing and Kinesis Network Inc. have joined forces to provide a new alternative—optimizing AI performance while reducing resource consumption.

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.

Scientists including an Oregon State University chemistry researcher have taken a key step toward next-generation optical computing and memory with the discovery of luminescent nanocrystals that can be quickly toggled from light to dark and back again.
