SandboxAQ announced today it has signed an agreement with Aramco, one of the world’s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, to collaborate on developing a multi-GPU enabled differentiable computational fluid dynamics solver for application in oil and gas processing facilities.

The University of Strathclyde has partnered with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Quantum Motion to develop new ways to overcome the challenges of running quantum control electronics in extremely cold conditions.

Quintessent Inc., a pioneer in quantum dot laser technology and heterogeneous silicon photonics, and IQE plc, the leading global supplier of advanced epitaxial wafer products and services, have partnered together to establish the world’s first large-scale quantum dot laser and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) epitaxial wafer supply chain. This collaboration, supported by purchase order commitments from Quintessent, will see IQE deliver production quantities of epitaxial wafers to Quintessent throughout 2025.

GlobalFoundries (GF) today announced plans to create a new center for advanced packaging and testing of U.S.-made essential chips within its New York manufacturing facility. Supported by investments from the State of New York and the U.S. Department of Commerce, the first-of-its-kind center aims to enable semiconductors to be securely manufactured, processed, packaged and tested entirely onshore in the United States to meet the growing demand for GF’s silicon photonics and other essential chips needed for critical end markets including AI, automotive, aerospace and defense, and communications.

Twente will become the center of a global revolution in photonics with the development of New Origin, an advanced production facility for photonic chips. Thanks to a grant from the province of Overijssel and the involvement of regional development company Oost NL as a shareholder, the company is progressing from planning to the actual construction of the plant.

The Board of Directors of the Platform for Digital and Quantum Innovation of Quebec, a non-profit organization (NPO) founded in 2021 by the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy of Quebec (MEIE - Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie du Québec) and the Université de Sherbrooke, proudly announces the appointment of MarieClaude Messier as Executive Director. This appointment follows the recent resignation of Éric Capelle, who has held this position with commitment and success since PINQ² was founded, and who has wished to hand over the reins to devote his time on community development projects.

Researchers at AIST, in collaboration with Tokyo Denki University, have identified the origin of long-period electrical instability in silicon qubit devices for the first time. It is well known that the electrical characteristic of qubits, which are the basic elements of quantum computers, is not always kept constant and it changes over periods of a few tens of seconds or hours.

Electron transport in bilayer graphene exhibits a pronounced dependence on edge states and a nonlocal transport mechanism, according to a recent study led by Professor Gil-Ho Lee and Ph.D. candidate Hyeon-Woo Jeong of POSTECH’s Department of Physics, in collaboration with Dr. Kenji Watanabe and Dr. Takashi Taniguchi at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS). The findings were published in the international nanotechnology journal Nano Letters.

The University of Birmingham is collaborating with Paragraf Ltd, a UK-based company pioneering the mass production of graphene-based electronics, with funding awards to accelerate the scaling up of the production of graphene on six-inch wafers and explore the potential of graphene sensors for quantum computing.

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 its GSMA-accredited eUICC (Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card) technology now enables mobile phones and connected devices to benefit from cutting-edge Post-Quantum security. This breakthrough technology delivers unparalleled trust, security, and interoperability for the global GSMA ecosystem, positioning SEALSQ as a game-changer for Telcos looking to streamline operations, scale connectivity worldwide, and secure their infrastructure against emerging quantum threats.
