Bluefors, the world leader in manufacturing cryogenic measurement systems for quantum technology, and Qblox, the global leader in quantum computing control stacks, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate on solutions for quantum technologies.

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have performed the first imaging of embryos using cameras designed for quantum measurements.

Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Defense's Innovation Unit (DIU) to prototype quantum-enabled Inertial Navigation System (INS). This innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize navigation capabilities for warfighters, providing precise location measurements even in environments without access to GPS.

Oxford Ionics, a world leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, today announced that it has been selected by the UK’s DSIT and Innovate UK for the Quantum Missions pilot to unlock scalable and commercially-useful quantum computing.

QuamCore, a deep tech startup redefining quantum computing scalability, announced today its emergence from stealth with $9 million in seed funding. Founded in 2022, QuamCore has spent the past two years developing its breakthrough superconducting quantum processor architecture, working in stealth mode to solve the critical scalability challenges that have long prevented practical quantum computing. The company has now emerged with a patented architecture that enables the integration of 1 million qubits into a single cryostat - a milestone previously thought impossible. This breakthrough dramatically reduces the size, energy consumption, and cost of quantum computers, unlocking practical applications across pharmaceuticals, AI, materials science, and energy.

Today, physicists are still asking themselves whether quantum mechanics needs hypercomplex numbers. FAU researchers Ece Ipek Saruhan, Prof. Dr. Joachim von Zanthier and Dr. Marc Oliver Pleinert have been investigating this question in their research.

Led by Professor Pasquale Scarlino at EPFL, they developed a superconducting Kerr resonator, a device with controllable quantum properties, and engineered it to experience a two-photon drive, which sends pairs of photons into the system to carefully control its quantum state and study how it transitions between different phases.

Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials. Knowledge obtained by these new measurements, published in Nano Letters, could be used to advance technologies ranging from traditional computing to the emerging field of quantum computing.

FormFactor, Inc., a leader in precision test and measurement solutions, and Delft Circuits, an innovator in high-density cryogenic cabling solutions, have teamed up to integrate Delft Circuits’ Cri/oFlex® product portfolio into FormFactor’s cryogenic test systems. This partnership addresses the growing demand for scalable, high-density interconnect solutions in quantum computing, enabling the industry to meet growing demands for computation power and efficient system interfacing.

Oxford Instruments NanoScience today introduces its low temperature, superconducting magnet measurement system for fundamental materials physics, TeslatronPT Plus. The system promises simpler access to high performance measurement capabilities, allowing users to spend more time on the measurement rather than the set-up, while gaining a flexible, scalable and secure system.
