OQC, a global leader in quantum computing solutions and spin-out from Oxford University’s Department of Physics, recently announced their research on the ‘Integration of through-sapphire substrate machining with superconducting quantum processors’. Successful demonstrations of this technique have been shown through the complete manufacturing process of their 32-qubit OQC Toshiko QPU.

An article published in the scientific journal Optica describes the development of a new experimental device that explores the boundary between classical and quantum physics, allowing the simultaneous observation and investigation of phenomena from both worlds. The instrument was developed in Florence and is the result of collaboration within the extended partnership of the National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI), involving the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Florence, the National Institute of Optics of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-INO), as well as the European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy (LENS) and the Florence branch of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN).

In the new network project “Quantenrepeater.Net (QR.N)”, physicists at the University of Stuttgart are researching, developing, and testing special repeaters for the quantum Internet. These repeaters are key to the secure IT infrastructure and communications of the future.

Over $4 million in Federal investment will allow researchers from the UBC Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute to form collaborations in quantum materials and computing, advancing innovative technologies such as quantum light sources for applications in computing, sensing, and communications.

Researchers have created a new ultra-broadband electro-optic comb that packs 450 nm of light precision into a chip smaller than a coin, paving the way for smarter, more efficient photonic devices.

Introducing the ID Qube ULN (Ultra-Low Noise) in the ID Qube Series: a compact, cost effective and powerful InGaAs/InP SPAD for operations in the NIR region and optimized for Telecom wavelengths.

Quintessent Inc., a pioneer in quantum dot laser technology and heterogeneous silicon photonics, and IQE plc, the leading global supplier of advanced epitaxial wafer products and services, have partnered together to establish the world’s first large-scale quantum dot laser and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) epitaxial wafer supply chain. This collaboration, supported by purchase order commitments from Quintessent, will see IQE deliver production quantities of epitaxial wafers to Quintessent throughout 2025.

GlobalFoundries (GF) today announced plans to create a new center for advanced packaging and testing of U.S.-made essential chips within its New York manufacturing facility. Supported by investments from the State of New York and the U.S. Department of Commerce, the first-of-its-kind center aims to enable semiconductors to be securely manufactured, processed, packaged and tested entirely onshore in the United States to meet the growing demand for GF’s silicon photonics and other essential chips needed for critical end markets including AI, automotive, aerospace and defense, and communications.

A team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has developed innovative methods to enhance frequency conversion of terahertz (THz) waves in graphene-based structures, unlocking new potential for faster, more efficient technologies in wireless communication and signal processing.

Quantinuum, the world’s largest integrated quantum computing company, announced plans today to open a new location in New Mexico. This anticipated site will support ongoing collaborative efforts to advance the photonics technologies critical to furthering Quantinuum’s product development. Photonics, the science and technology of light, is essential to the advancement of Quantinuum’s trapped ion quantum computing technologies, which use light to control and manipulate qubits.
