To harness the power of quantum computing for real-world applications, Fermioniq, QuiX Quantum, and Deltares have partnered to discover quantum modeling solutions that will improve water management and infrastructure.

Newly achieved precise control over light emitted from incredibly tiny sources, a few nanometers in size, embedded in two-dimensional (2D) materials could lead to remarkably high-resolution monitors and advances in ultra-fast quantum computing, according to an international team led by researchers at Penn State and Université Paris-Saclay.

The University of Maryland (UMD) and the global quantum computing firm Xanadu have established a strategic partnership to drive innovation, workforce development, and commercialization across the state of Maryland and the wider Mid-Atlantic region.

In a recent release, Jij Inc., a Tokyo-based quantum optimization company, announced it has established its first overseas branch, Jij Europe Ltd., in the United Kingdom as part of its global expansion strategy. According to the release, the company has also officially joined UKQuantum, a consortium representing the UK’s quantum technology sector.

Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT), a pioneering quantum hardware startup, has opened a new office in College Park, Maryland to strengthen its research and development capabilities and accelerate its commercialization efforts in the United States.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced a significant milestone in the development of high-speed, mixed-species quantum logic gates for trapped-ion quantum computing and networking. The findings further the company’s momentum in driving scalable, high-fidelity quantum networking and distributed quantum computing. Detailed in a new paper written by IonQ scientists and co-authored with Australian National University, the research shows a novel approach to achieving an orders-of-magnitude increase in physical gate speed of two-qubit gates between different atomic species.

Xairos Systems, Inc. (Xairos), a space-based quantum technology company, announces Joseph Campagna as the Chief Strategy Officer – a key leader with expertise not only in space, but also in photonics and laser communications, specifically relevant to Xairos’ quantum technology that leverages photon entanglement for a global timing service.

On March 6, 2025 the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ORCA Computing to strengthen collaboration for the industrialization of scalable photonic quantum computing.

Three RIKEN physicists have discovered how tiny tubes of carbon spit out light that is more energetic than the light shone on them. This finding could help to exploit the process in applications such as solar power and biological imaging.

In the quest for ultra-secure, long-range quantum communication, two major challenges stand in the way: the unpredictable nature of atmospheric turbulence and the limitations of current optical wavefront correction techniques. Researchers at the University of Ottawa, under the supervision of Professor Ebrahim Karimi, the director of Nexus for Quantum Technologies, in collaboration with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany), have made significant advances in overcoming both obstacles. Their two latest breakthroughs—an AI-powered turbulence forecasting tool called TAROQQO and a high-speed Adaptive Optics (AO) system for correcting turbulence in quantum channels—represent a turning point in developing free-space quantum networks.
