The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $65 million in funding in quantum computing for 10 projects, comprising a total of 38 separate awards.

Infleqtion, the world’s leading quantum information company, today announced an expansion of its work with the Australian Army as part of the Quantum Technology Challenge (QTC). Infleqtion is collaborating with the Australian Army and Diraq, a quantum computing company based in Sydney, to establish more trustworthy quantum computation through quantum physically unclonable functions (QPUFs).

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully simulated higher-order topological (HOT) lattices with unprecedented accuracy using digital quantum computers. These complex lattice structures can help us understand advanced quantum materials with robust quantum states that are highly sought after in various technological applications.

BlueQubit Inc. and Quantum Art Ltd. have been awarded a grant from the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation to develop and optimize quantum machine learning algorithms and quantum processor configuration methods.

This research was propelled by Universal Quantum's vision to leverage the unique properties of trapped-ions, and enable them to be shuttled over long distances for two-qubit operations with minimal fidelity loss – contributing to refined connectivity and therefore facilitating scaling.

New research from QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, reveals that over half of quantum academics, scientists and professionals (51%) believe the technology is making faster progress than they expected, with 40% saying it will become a superior alternative to classical computing for certain workloads within the next five years. The findings also highlight the truly disruptive potential of the technology, with a majority expecting quantum computing to solve problems that were previously unsolvable.

Atom Computing’s highly scalable neutral atom technology allows the company to race towards building the first fault-tolerant quantum computers and achieve larger numbers of qubits with each generation of its quantum computing platforms – at a rate of 10x increase per generation.

The Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Dr. Franziska Brantner, visited the world-leading quantum software startup Kipu Quantum. The visit facilitated an intensive exchange on the economic policy framework for quantum computing in Germany.

Quantinuum, the world's largest integrated quantum computing company, has signed a Joint Statement of Endeavour with the STFC Hartree Centre, one of Europe's largest supercomputing centers dedicated to industry engagement. The partnership will provide UK industrial and scientific users access to Quantinuum's H-Series, the world's highest-performing trapped-ion quantum computers, via the cloud and on-premise.

Theoretical scientists at Sandia and Boston University have discovered that quantum computers are unrivaled at solving an advanced math problem. Unusually, they proved quantum computers are not faster than regular computers; instead, they use far less memory.
