Quantinuum, the world’s largest and leading integrated quantum computing company, unveiled its roadmap to universal, fully fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030. The roadmap materially accelerates the path to commercial quantum computing systems with the potential to unlock a trillion-dollar market and enable AI to help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. In parallel, Quantinuum in partnership with Microsoft announced a series of milestones and integrations.

Photonic Inc., a leader in distributed quantum computing, is pleased to announce its selection for Stage A of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). In this effort, Photonic intends to demonstrate to DARPA that its large-scale quantum computing approach will reach industrial scale.

Atom Computing announced today that it has been named to Fast Company’s renowned list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025.

Quantum computing expert Michael Manfra has been named director of the Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute (PQSEI), effective March 1. He is the Bill and Dee O’Brien Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy, professor of electrical and computer engineering, and professor of materials engineering.

Microsoft’s topological qubit is constructed of indium arsenide and aluminum, which becomes a superconductor at very low temperatures. It is the result of nearly two decades’ work by a Microsoft team led by Chetan Nayak, Microsoft technical fellow and professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara. In this edited conversation, Nayak, who got his start in physics as a Harvard College undergraduate in the late 1980s and early 1990s, spoke with the Gazette about the advance and about his experience treading the sometimes-difficult path of discovery.

Jainendra Jain, an Evan Pugh University Professor and Erwin W. Mueller Professor in Physics, pioneered the theory of a new state of matter called the fractional quantum Hall effect, whose discoverers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1998.

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built as a proof-of-concept for the scientists’ design, opens the door to the development of the long-awaited topological quantum computer.

Telefónica España has signed an agreement with the Government of Biscay to become its technology partner and collaborate in the development of its quantum technology industrial strategy in this historic territory.

Riverlane, a global leader in quantum error correction (QEC), has announced the appointment of Liz Durst as Vice President of QEC Community. Liz is a highly regarded leader in the quantum computing industry with extensive experience developing open-source tools and fostering global technology communities. Her expertise will be instrumental in advancing QEC and accelerating Riverlane’s mission to make quantum computing useful, sooner.

Photonic's architecture literally goes 'outside the box,' optically entangling and performing distributed computing between remote T centre spins using telecom photons, to uniquely solve industry’s longstanding scale problem.
