The University of Strathclyde has partnered with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Quantum Motion to develop new ways to overcome the challenges of running quantum control electronics in extremely cold conditions.

Now, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science (Penn Engineering) have utilized quantum sensors to realize a groundbreaking variation of nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) spectroscopy, a technique traditionally used to detect drugs and explosives or analyze pharmaceuticals.

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that 2025 is expected to be a landmark year for SEALSQ and its parent company WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) as they advance their leadership in quantum technologies. SEALSQ is focusing on breakthroughs in post-quantum algorithms and semiconductor innovations, while WISeKey is reinforcing its Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with a quantum root key to address the challenges of the quantum era.

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.

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.

The group of Principal Investigator Dimitris Angelakis tackled problems based on realistic shipping scenarios from ExxonMobil.

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.
