A veteran in the integrated photonics industry, Ghent-based EDA provider Luceda Photonics strives for first-time-right designs to become the norm, accelerating the technology’s journey to mass adoption.

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, announced today the appointment of Eric Schwartz to its Board of Directors.

Now, applied physicists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have invented a new type of interferometer that allows precise control of light’s frequency, intensity and mode in one compact package.

Xanadu, a leading photonic quantum computing company, and Corning Incorporated, the global leader in fibre, cable and connectivity, will collaborate to develop customized fibre and fibre-array solutions to enable low-loss networking of photonic quantum computing chips. This collaboration will bring together Xanadu's world-leading expertise in developing ultra-low-loss photonic chip components using customized fabrication and design techniques, and Corning's future-ready innovations in low-loss optical fibre and high-precision fibre arrays. The combination of expertise will help enable the development of fault-tolerant, universal photonic quantum computers at scale.

Iceberg Quantum today announced its launch, a $2 million pre-seed funding round, and a partnership with PsiQuantum. The company is developing fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures based on LDPC codes, with the goal of accelerating the path to useful quantum computing using significantly less hardware.

Scientists at EPFL and IBM Research have developed a compact optical amplifier based on a photonic chip that vastly outperforms traditional optical amplifiers in both bandwidth and efficiency. This breakthrough could reshape data center interconnects, AI accelerators, and high-performance computing.

Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company"), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today released financial results for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2024.

The EuroQCS-France consortium, led by GENCI and CEA, is pleased to announce that European researchers can now access a 12-qubit Quandela photonic quantum computing system remotely. This exciting development allows European users to begin programming and testing their applications on a real photonic quantum computer, months ahead of the anticipated deployment at TGCC (CEA’s computing center) of the on-premise Lucy system in the end of 2025. They can be supported by experts from a High-Level Support Team to port their applications onto the photonic quantum computer.

Xanadu, a leader in photonic quantum computing, has published a research article in the peer-reviewed journal Physical Review Letters, demonstrating how photonic qubits can be used to enact any quantum error correction (QEC) code—including codes that use a lot less qubits to suppress errors. This work opens the door to reducing the number of physical qubits needed for early fault-tolerant quantum computation, while preserving an error correction threshold comparable to other performant QEC codes. The flexibility and feasibility of Xanadu's photonic approach is highlighted, especially when considering the finite qubit resources that will be available in early utility-scale quantum computers.

At TU Wien (Vienna), methods are being developed to extract valuable substances from biomass – and quantum cascade lasers offer some very interesting new possibilities.
