The European collaborative project MetSuperQ, led by PTB, Germany, has recently launched. This project aims to advance the development of metrological tools for superconducting qubits to enhance the characterization and performance of quantum circuits and materials. The MetSuperQ project will address discrepancies in how qubit metrics are reported by harmonizing measurement methodologies and fostering collaboration among national metrology institutions.

Recently, British quantum sensing technology developer QLM announced the appointment of Robby Vaughn as its Head of Business Development, Energy, Americas. QLM said that Robby, who has held technical roles in Upstream Oil and Gas, brings 20+ years of industry experience and expertise in natural gas measurement and quantification, which will create value for the company and its customers.

The University of Ottawa research team has pioneered an optimized technique named Fourier Quantum Process Tomography (FQPT) for evaluating the performance of quantum circuits. This method allows for the complete characterization of quantum operations with a minimal number of measurements. Instead of performing a large number of projective measurements, FQPT utilises a well-known map, the Fourier transform, to perform a portion of the measurements in two different mathematical spaces.
