Irish-headquartered Equal1 expands team to include renowned scientists from TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research.

QunaSys, a global leader in quantum software development, announced today the launch of QURI SDK, an innovative research and development platform designed for the fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) era. As quantum technology advances, there is an increasing interest in researching FTQC algorithms. However, substantial technical demands have created considerable obstacles to accessing this technology. QURI SDK aims to overcome these challenges and promote the practical use of FTQC by providing a comprehensive research platform that integrates the latest architectural and algorithmic advancements.

Equal1, a leader in silicon-powered quantum computing, and TNO, the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, have today announced a strategic partnership to propel the development of next-generation silicon-based quantum devices.

Nord Quantique, a scaleup company and leader in the field of quantum error correction, today announces two new partnerships to secure its supply chain long-term, as relates to chip fabrication for its quantum computers. Both partners are located within the emerging “Northeast Semiconductor Manufacturing Corridor,” a region dedicated to the production of microelectronics and quantum microchips. This territory runs from Manhattan to Montreal, spanning the border between New York State and the Canadian province of Quebec. Dozens of companies in this area will play a key role in reshoring semiconductor manufacturing here in North America over the coming years.

A paper recently published in Nature Communications from UChicago PME’s High Lab and Argonne National Laboratory has solved a major hurdle facing researchers working with diamond by creating a novel way of bonding diamonds directly to materials that integrate easily with either quantum or conventional electronics.

The QLASS project, focused on advancing Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits (QPICs), has secured €6 million (approximately $6.5 million) in funding from the European Commission. The initiative is led by a consortium coordinated by Politecnico di Milano, and includes the following partners: CNRS-Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier, Ephos, Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, Pixel Photonics, Quantum Lab in Sapienza Università di Roma, Schott AG, Unitary Fund France, and Université de Montpellier.

An interdisciplinary collaboration by Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, University of Maryland, and Duke University demonstrated a zero-field NMR digital quantum simulation experiment on a programmable trapped-ion processor.

A new study has uncovered important behavior in the flow of electric current through quantum superconductors, potentially advancing the development of future technologies like quantum computing.

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki, Ph.D.), NTT Corporation (NTT, President: Mr. SHIMADA Akira), Tohoku University (President: Dr. TOMINAGA Teiji) and the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System Nagoya University (President: Dr. SUGIYAMA Naoshi) succeeded in developing a new type of superconducting flux qubit that operates in zero magnetic field.

Radio Frequency (RF) and microwave power measurements are widely used to support applications across space, defense, and communication. The precise measurements enable engineers to accurately characterize waveforms, components, circuits, and systems. Taking this a step further, Keysight Technologies and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) collaborated on a groundbreaking research project, exploring RF power at cryogenic temperatures. This resulted in the world’s first successful demonstration of a commercial RF power sensor operating at temperatures as low as 3 kelvin (K).
