TIM Group’s companies Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, and Telsy, center of excellence for communication security and cybersecurity with its participated company QTI Quantum Telecommunications Italy, leading Italian QKD provider, announce the successful completion of a Proof of Concept (PoC) on a high-capacity link between two data centers in Athens, secured with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

LuxQuanta has been awarded with the Salvà i Campillo Award for Entrepreneurship at the 30th edition of La Nit de les Telecomunicacions i la Informàtica, one of the most prestigious annual events in Catalonia’s digital and telecommunications sectors.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced several initiatives designed to increase adoption and deployment of its commercial quantum optimization offering. At the Company’s Qubits 2025 user conference, D-Wave introduced updates to its hybrid quantum solvers and expanded use cases, reflecting increased demand for quantum optimization solutions from end users,independent software vendors (ISVs), system integrators (SIs), and resellers.

Fujitsu Limited today announced the launch of an open-source operations software for quantum computers on GitHub, in what is one of the largest open-source initiatives of its kind globally. The Open Quantum Toolchain for Operators and Users software, developed with the University of Osaka, Systems Engineering Consultants Co., LTD., and TIS Inc., can be customized to meet individual user needs and is expected to help make practical quantum computing a reality.

In the coming months, the Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU’s) Transition of Quantum Sensing (TQS) program will demonstrate the military utility of quantum sensors to address strategic Joint Force competencies like positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), as well as anomaly detection. Significant progress on the scientific understanding and product development of quantum sensors, offering the promise of significant improvements in precision, accuracy, and sensitivity compared to classical sensors, is being made, and these solutions, as well as the supporting companies advancing these technologies, are ready to proceed forward.

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.

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a groundbreaking new framework that could revolutionise our understanding of gravity and its relationship with quantum mechanics.

Today, Vodafone and IBM announced a collaboration aimed at protecting customers and their data from future risks related to quantum computers when browsing the Internet on their smartphones.
