Following the recent expansion of the Bluefors Lab in Delft, we are happy to share the news that QuantrolOx – leaders in automating the bring-up, characterization, and tuning of quantum computers – will be the first team to utilize the newly-installed XLD1000sl Dilution Refrigerator.

New York University’s Center for Quantum Information Physics and the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute have established a collaboration to develop superconductor and semiconductor materials, which could be used to enhance performance of electronics, quantum sensors, and computing capabilities, for manufacturing.

A new quantum-system-on-chip enables the efficient control of a large array of qubits, moving toward practical quantum computing.

Automation is pivotal in transitioning from laboratory prototypes to full-scale fabrication, especially in the nascent field of quantum computing and chip production. By integrating advanced technologies such as robotics, AI, and control systems, automation enhances production efficiency, output quality and ensures scalability.

Diraq, a world leader in the development of quantum processors using silicon ‘quantum dot’ technology, announced that Dr. Nard Dumoulin Stuyck, CMOS Design and Measurement Engineer, has been awarded a prestigious Australian Research Council (ARC) Early Career Industry Fellowship. This significant fellowship program supports the critical role of research translation and commercialisation in building a robust quantum industry.

A USC computer scientist wants to produce quantum materials at scale, with help from Argonne supercomputers.

Dutch quantum technology company Orange Quantum Systems [OrangeQS] has announced a stronger focus on industry-level testing, that reflects the way the sector is maturing.

QuTech has united with four quantum companies in the HectoQubit/2 consortium to build full superconducting quantum computing systems to be made publicly available through QuTech’s Quantum Inspire cloud platform. The systems will mean significant upgrades to the Starmon-5 system that has been available since 2020.

SemiQon, a Finland-based startup specializing in silicon-based quantum processors, has announced it has successfully manufactured and pre-tested a 4-qubit quantum dot array from the first production run at its manufacturing facility in Espoo, Finland. The new chips are now shipping to strategic partners around the world as a toolkit for further research and development. The aim is to help make building stable logical qubits easier and faster to accelerate the use of quantum computing for complex problems.
