Kipu Quantum, the leader in quantum software specializing in hardware- and application-specific solutions, and its PlanQK platform, have announced an enhanced collaboration with QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing. This partnership aims to deliver industrially relevant quantum solutions by providing PlanQK users with immediate access to QuEra’s Aquila 256-qubit quantum processors, enabling seamless quantum computing experiences powered by neutral-atom technology.

Realizing practical advantages and societal benefits from quantum-scale phenomena has been a long-sought milestone in quantum information science. The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced the initial $5 million investment across five pilot projects designed to help reach that milestone by taking the first steps toward creating the NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL), a first-of-its-kind national resource to enable faster discovery and development of use-inspired quantum technologies.

onQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced it has generated photons entangled with ions repeatedly and reproducibly, creating a quantum state which allows future quantum systems to communicate and transfer information between each other.

ORCA Computing has been selected to build and supply a quantum computing testbed for the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). Starting early this year, ORCA is developing a photonic quantum computing testbed for machine learning using its novel hybrid quantum/classical neural network architectures and photonic quantum processors. The company will complete delivery and installation of the system at the NQCC’s facilities on Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire by March 2025.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Global Research and Development Center for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT), a division of one of the largest public research organizations in Japan, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology’s (AIST). This memorandum facilitates cooperation between IonQ and G-QuAT intended to advance quantum computing technologies in Japan.

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.

As part of its mission to explore quantum computing applications that could contribute to accelerating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and beyond, the Open Quantum Institute (OQI) recently hosted two technical workshops. These sessions provided a platform for use case teams supported by OQI to engage with experts, exchange insights and share best practices.

Scholars at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have unveiled an innovation that brings artificial intelligence (AI) closer to quantum computing – both physically and technologically.

GTC—NVIDIA today announced it is building a Boston-based research center to provide cutting-edge technologies to advance quantum computing.

Today, Bluefors has launched an enhanced cooling solution that optimizes the integration of their Cryomech range of pulse tube cryocoolers – essential components in the initial stages of cooling – into Bluefors LD and XLD cryogenic measurement systems to deliver significantly greater cooling power to their systems.
