Infleqtion, a global leader in quantum information technologies, today announced a key milestone in the Scalable Quantum Atomic Lattice computing tEstbed (SQALE) project—the successful demonstration of a 16x16 neutral atom array—the largest reported array of its kind in the UK. This achievement is a crucial step toward building scalable quantum processors capable of supporting fault-tolerant quantum computing.

The U.S. National Science Foundation has launched six pilot projects to bridge scientific gaps between current quantum technological capabilities and those needed to fully harness quantum properties of energy and matter for practical uses. The six projects join five others that the agency announced in August. Collectively, they are supported by the NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NSF NQVL) initiative, an ambitious effort to accelerate the development of quantum technologies by providing researchers anywhere in the U.S. with access to specialized resources.

Infleqtion, the world’s leading quantum information company, today announced the world’s first demonstration of a materials science application powered by logical qubits. Leveraging the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform, the demonstration, conducted in collaboration with the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin, achieved a 6x boost in application-level computational accuracy. This marks a transformative step forward in quantum computing and showcasing the technology’s potential to tackle otherwise intractable computational challenges, such as the design of next-generation materials.

QunaSys, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Tennin Yan), a leader in quantum computing algorithms and software development, has successfully raised JPY 1.7 billion in Series B2 funding. The round was led by ­Mirai Creation Fund III managed by SPARX Asset Management Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President & CEO: Shuhei Abe), with additional participation from funds managed or co-managed by JIC Venture Growth Investments (VGF I), Fujitsu Ventures (Fujitsu Ventures Fund LLC), Mitsubishi Electric (ME Innovation Fund), Osaka University Venture Capital (OUVC No.2 Fund), KDDI (KDDI Open Innovation Fund III), and Kyocera (KVIF-I), and Zeon. QunaSys has signed a new JPY 500 million commitment line agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and has agreed with KDDI and Kyocera to pursue capital and business partnerships alongside this fundraising.

ORCA Computing today announced the unveiling of the PT-2, the latest advancement in its PT Series of photonic quantum systems. Building on the success of the PT-1, which has deployed seven on-premises systems, the PT-2 represents a significant leap forward in practical quantum computing.

Fujitsu Limited and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at Osaka University (QIQB) today announced the joint development of two new technologies for the space-time efficient analog rotation quantum computing architecture that will accelerate the realization of practical quantum computing.

Imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, today announced the demonstration of high quality 300mm-Si-based quantum dot spin qubit processing with devices resulting in a statistically relevant, average charge noise of 0.6µeV/√ Hz at 1Hz. In view of noise performance,

Alice & Bob, a leading hardware developer in the race to fault tolerant quantum computers, in collaboration with the research institute Inria, today announced a new quantum error correction architecture – low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes on cat qubits – to reduce hardware requirements for useful quantum computers.

SaxonQ, developer of the first mobile quantum computer, and Quantum Machines, the leading provider of advanced hybrid quantum-classical control solutions, announced today a milestone demonstration of real-time quantum computing on SaxonQ’s mobile quantum computer at Hannover Messe 2025. The live demonstrations included a of H2 energy levels and basic real-time image recognition, marking the first time anyone has shown such applications running on a portable room-temperature quantum computer publicly, demonstrate the potential of mobile quantum computing outside laboratory conditions.

Xanadu, a leading quantum computing company pioneering photonic-based hardware and the quantum programming software, PennyLane, has been selected to participate in Stage A of the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), a groundbreaking program launched by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the United States.
