EU funding for this call of €65 million is expected to be matched by the participating states of the Chips JU. This is part of the €200 million EU investment in quantum chips envisaged under the Chips JU over the next three years.

SandboxAQ today announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate breakthrough innovations across biopharma, chemicals, advanced materials, financial services, cybersecurity, navigation, and medical imaging. SandboxAQ, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, is leveraging the NVIDIA DGX Cloud AI platform on Google Cloud to build a state-of-the-art Large Quantitative Model (LQM) platform, fueling AI-driven scientific discovery. SandboxAQ is now uniquely positioned to help customers tackle the most complex and consequential business challenges through its LQMs – delivering breakthroughs where traditional models have fallen short – while offering unparalleled speed, scalability, and precision.

The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) launched its first Insights Paper, “The convergence of healthcare and pharmaceuticals with quantum computing: A new fronter in medicine”, exploring how quantum computing could enable a step-change in medicine and healthcare delivery over the coming decades.

Quantum technology is evolving rapidly and is set to have a major impact on a wide range of industries. As advancements accelerate, businesses and policymakers must prepare for the implications on their sectors. However, many organizations are still in the early stages of understanding how quantum technology could affect their operations. To bridge this gap, the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) and Dutch National Quantum Program Quantum Delta NL are hosting Q-Expo on May 14-15, 2025, in Amsterdam. This large-scale, free event connects potential end-users of quantum technology with experts and pioneers in the field, offering a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and strengthen collaboration within the quantum ecosystem.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), in collaboration with the chemicals company Covestro, have developed a new method for simulating chemical models using fermionic quantum simulators. The key advantage: The energetic states prepared in the lab obey the same laws as the electrons in molecules – which directly align with the molecular behaviour being simulated. By successfully mapping quantum chemistry algorithms onto their fermionic quantum simulator, the team has taken a significant step towards leveraging quantum computing for fundamental questions in chemistry.

Quantum Circuits, Inc., announced that its partner Algorithmiq, a European quantum algorithm company focused on life sciences, is accelerating new drug discovery by utilizing the full-stack quantum computing system Aqumen Seeker to detect errors and produce more accurate chemistry calculations.

SandboxAQ today announced it has expanded its relationship with Deloitte to offer SandboxAQ’s AI LQM simulation products and solutions along with Deloitte’s services capabilities to organizations worldwide.

New research from QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, reveals growing confidence in quantum adoption, with global budgets for quantum applications projected to rise nearly 20% in 2025.

Tachyum today announced that it has ported all four of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) quantum-safe algorithms across Prodigy software distributions to ensure data center deployments leveraging the company’s universal processor are quantum-resistant and future-proofed for data security.

An interdisciplinary collaboration by Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, University of Maryland, and Duke University demonstrated a zero-field NMR digital quantum simulation experiment on a programmable trapped-ion processor.
