Quobly, a leading French quantum computing startup, has reported that FD-SOI technology can serve as a scalable platform for commercial quantum computing, leveraging traditional semiconductor manufacturing fabs and CEA-Leti's R&D pilot line.

Researchers at QuTech have managed to, for the first time, perform coherent logic operations between spin qubits 250 micrometers apart on the same chip. Such ‘enormous’ distances create new opportunities for operations between qubits, as they normally only sustain over 100 nm. These results hold promise for scalable networks of spin qubit islands on a chip. The researchers published their results in Nature Physics.

Macquarie University research is paving the way for advanced diamond-based technologies in electronics and quantum computing. Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research recently published in Applied Surface Science.

SDT announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Malaysia’s national research institute, MIMOS, on November 26 to collaborate on quantum technology and develop an industrial ecosystem.

Mesa Quantum has been awarded a $500,000 Advanced Industries Early-Stage Capital and Retention Grant from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT). The company specializes in developing chip-scale quantum sensors for applications ranging from autonomous systems to resilient navigation alternatives to GPS.

Researchers at Rice University have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Using an unconventional approach inspired by quantum physics, Rice engineer Gururaj Naik and his team designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high efficiencies within practical design parameters.

X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE, the leading analogue/mixed-signal and speciality foundry, and SMART Photonics, the leading Indium Phosphide (InP) integrated photonics foundry, have announced a strategic collaboration. This collaboration intends to integrate X-FAB’s silicon photonics platform with SMART Photonics’ InP chiplets using micro-transfer printing (MTP) for heterogeneous integration, enabling new capabilities for datacom and telecom applications.
