For a wide variety of emerging quantum technologies, such as secure quantum communications and quantum computing, quantum entanglement is a prerequisite. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) have now demonstrated a particularly efficient way in which photons can be entangled with acoustic phonons. The researchers were able to demonstrate that this entanglement is resilient to external noise, the usual pitfall of any quantum technology to date. They published their research in Physical Review Letters.

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today announced that the Company has secured its first order for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip foundry. The order, placed by a prominent research and technology institute based in Asia, underscores the growing global demand for QCi’s advanced fabrication technology of TFLN and its ability to produce high-performance photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and nanophotonic devices. This milestone highlights QCi’s commitment to accelerating the widespread adoption of TFLN and positioning it as a vital component of the future telecom, datacom, and quantum landscape.

The rare-earth metal erbium could play a key role in future quantum networks: researchers from MPQ and TU Munich succeeded in spectrally resolving and individually controlling up to 360 erbium ions.

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today released financial results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, is pleased to announce significant progress as it approaches the final commissioning of its quantum photonic chip foundry, set to open in Q1 2025. In September, QCi launched a pilot program aimed at securing sales orders from early adopters for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) foundry services and establishing a unified ecosystem for producing high-performance and energy efficient photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and nanophotonic devices.

Researchers at the Quantum Communications Hub are celebrating 10 years of contributions to understanding how digital information can be shared safely and securely. Research at the Hub, which is led by the University of York, has created an unhackable UK quantum-secured network, with experts developing working testbeds around Bristol and Cambridge, connected via London.

RRI which developed the technology for precision laser systems required for quantum enabled-technology applications and industrial uses, recently awarded the license to nexAtom Research and Instruments, the first spin-off company from RRI. This spinoff company will soon commence production of the multi-channel, tunable laser system technology platforms. RRI has filed a provisional Indian patent for ‘Standalone laser system with frequency tunability and precision control’.

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, is pleased to announce that the Company has reached the final stage of commissioning its quantum photonic chip foundry in Tempe, Arizona. Initially announced in September 2023, the QCi Foundry will focus on processing thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) to produce high-performance optical components and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). These photonic chips will serve as essential optical engines for photonic-based quantum computers, secure quantum communications, and 3.2Tbps data rates for datacom, driven by the increasing demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and enabling the future of integrated photonics.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Purdue University and the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Munich have revealed an unexpected twist in molecular physics: they can break molecules apart using laser light, only to reform them in a new, stable state. This discovery defies conventional chemistry, where severing chemical bonds typically results in the destruction of the molecule.

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, announced that the Company has been awarded a fifth project from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop quantum remote sensing technology that would significantly lower the cost of spaceborne LIDAR imaging and advance scientific understanding of the mechanisms of climate change.
