Two University of Rhode Island physics professors have been awarded separate $800,000 grants as part of the National Science Foundation’s $39 million program to grow quantum research at institutions of higher education across the U.S.

Some phenomena that occur in materials can be challenging to mimic using quantum computers, leaving gaps in the problems that scientists have explored with quantum hardware. To fill one of these gaps, MIT researchers developed a technique to generate synthetic electromagnetic fields on superconducting quantum processors. The team demonstrated the technique on a processor comprising 16 qubits.

A team of physicists led by Johannes Zeiher, research group leader in Immanuel Bloch's Quantum Many-Body Systems department and co-founder of the MPQ spin-off planqc, has achieved significant progress in scaling up quantum computing platforms with neutral atoms.

Quantum Motion has opened its new lab in Sydney at Cicada Innovations, Australia’s leading deep tech incubator. Quantum Motion’s multimillion-dollar investment in technology, infrastructure, and people will allow the company to contribute to Australia’s growing quantum industry and broad range of talent.

Engineering researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have successfully developed a quantum microprocessor chip for molecular spectroscopy simulation of actual large-structured and complex molecules, a world-first achievement. Capturing these quantum effects accurately requires meticulously developed simulations that account for quantum superposition and entanglement, which are computationally intensive to model classically.

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.

Researchers at MIT have recently signed a 4-year collaboration agreement with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) at Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, focused on accelerating quantum computing hardware research.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. , a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced that Jagrup Brar, B.C. Minister of State for Trade and MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood, and Janet Routledge, B.C. Parliamentary Secretary for Labour and MLA for Burnaby North, toured the company’s Burnaby-based Quantum Engineering Center of Excellence yesterday.

Mr Heng Swee Keat, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the National Research Foundation NRF, outlined an investment of close to S$300 million into Singapore's National Quantum Strategy (NQS) to advance Singapore's growing Quantum industry.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have made an important breakthrough in scaling quantum technology by integrating the world’s tiniest quantum light detector onto a silicon chip.
