Quantinuum, the world’s largest integrated quantum computing company, announced plans today to open a new location in New Mexico. This anticipated site will support ongoing collaborative efforts to advance the photonics technologies critical to furthering Quantinuum’s product development. Photonics, the science and technology of light, is essential to the advancement of Quantinuum’s trapped ion quantum computing technologies, which use light to control and manipulate qubits.

Welinq, a leading company in modular quantum computing and quantum networking, has achieved a significant milestone with the release of araQne, its first compiler designed for distributed quantum computing.

UConn physicists have partnered with Google Quantum AI and Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) quantum experts on a groundbreaking paper on the effects of gravitation on quantum information systems.

Currently, the most efficient way to create photon pairs requires sending lightwaves through a crystal large enough to see without a microscope. In a paper published today in Nature Photonics, a team led by Columbia Engineering researchers and collaborators, describe a new method for creating these photon pairs that achieves higher performance on a much smaller device using less energy. P. James Schuck, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering, helped lead the research team.

To kick off the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology in 2025, three Colorado universities in collaboration with Elevate Quantum have announced that a new facility for fostering quantum technologies is coming to Colorado.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, have have integrated two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) with dielectric metasurface resonators (MSRs) to achieve unprecedented emission line narrowing and long- range photon transport at room temperature for on-chip photonic quantum information processing.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Rice University have investigated the intricacies of particle exchange statistics and shown that a third category — paraparticles — can exist under specific physical conditions, obeying exotic "parastatistics" markedly different from those of fermions and bosons. Using a second quantization framework, they mathematically demonstrated that paraparticles emerge as quasiparticle excitations in quantum spin models, challenging long-standing assumptions in condensed matter and particle physics. Their discovery was published last week in Nature.

To find a solution, Li teamed up with PNNL scientists Johannes Mülmenstädt, Margaret Cheung, Gregory Schenter, and Jaehun Chun as well as Xiaolong Yin from the Colorado School of Mines and PNNL joint appointee and University of Toronto professor Nathan Wiebe. Together, they devised a mathematical solution to simulate fluid dynamics—including turbulence—using quantum computing. Their results, published in Physical Review Research, could be used to clarify some of the most prominent uncertainties in atmospheric science and beyond.

With graduate degrees from some of the most prestigious institutions in Europe, research stints at Harvard University and Rice University; and a post as scientist at the Center for Optical Quantum Technologies at the University of Hamburg in Germany, Dr. Rick Mukherjee now has a new distinction for his resume: inaugural director of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Quantum Center.

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).
