IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced a new $21.1 million project via Qubitekk, Inc. to work with the United States Air Force Research Lab (AFRL).

The EQUSPACE consortium (Enabling New Quantum Frontiers with Spin Acoustics in Silicon) has received 3.2 million euros from the European Innovation Council's (EIC) Pathfinder Open funding program to advance the development of silicon-based quantum technologies. In addition to the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the project brings together four other partners from three EU countries and convenes experts from the fields of spin qubits, optomechanics and atomic silicon modifications to develop a novel silicon-based quantum platform.

BTQ Technologies Corp. (the "Company"), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Future Quantum Convergence Forum ("FQCF"), the Quantum Industrial Standard Association ("QuINSA"), and the Future Quantum Convergence Institute ("QCI"). This collaboration represents a significant step toward fostering global innovation and cooperation in quantum technologies.

A Yale-led project that aims to develop quantum technology into practical applications has been awarded a prestigious grant from the National Science Foundation.

AI and quantum company Multiverse Computing and the Bundesdruckerei Gmbh, the German federal government’s technology company, are exploring the potential of quantum and quantum-inspired solutions. The two companies recently completed two research projects that combined quantum-inspired software and data security expertise to build new prototypes that generate synthetic data more accurately than classic standard algorithms for machine learning. Together they investigated use cases such as improving privacy and utility of synthetic data generations as well as detecting fraudulent transactions in blockchain networks.

Quantum Industry Canada (QIC), the national industry-led consortium dedicated to advancing Canada’s quantum technology sector, announced today the addition of three organizations that strengthen crucial links in Canada’s quantum value chain. ACA TMetrix, the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing, and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics bring distinct capabilities that enrich Canada’s quantum landscape and expand QIC’s collaborative reach.

Jij Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Yu Yamashiro) and ORCA Computing Limited (Headquarters: London, United Kingdom; CEO: Richard Murray) are pleased to announce the establishment of a strategic partnership in quantum computing technology, marking a pioneering collaboration between Japan and the UK.

SDT announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Malaysia’s national research institute, MIMOS, on November 26 to collaborate on quantum technology and develop an industrial ecosystem.

Dutch quantum technology company Orange Quantum Systems [OrangeQS] has today launched the OrangeQS Max, which is designed to accelerate the development of quantum computers by making it possible to test new, more powerful quantum chips with a fraction of the R&D resources that are normally required for such testing.

Lightsynq Technologies Inc., a startup developing quantum interconnect technology solutions for commercial use, today announced it has raised approximately $18 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Cerberus Ventures, the venture investing platform of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (Cerberus), with participation from Murata Electronics North America Inc., IAG Capital Partners, Safar Partners, QVT, Element Six and In-Q-Tel (IQT).
