Welinq, a leader in quantum networking technology, has launched the first commercial quantum memory designed specifically for quantum data centers with world-record performance. Quantum computing is reaching a turning point: with more than 100 individual quantum computers deployed in dedicated infrastructures, the next challenge is networking them into scalable, high-performance architectures.

That’s exactly what Harvard physicists have done, using existing Boston-area telecommunication fiber, in a demonstration of the world’s longest fiber distance between two quantum memory nodes. Think of it as a simple, closed internet carrying a signal encoded not by classical bits like the existing internet, but by perfectly secure, individual particles of light.

Rice University physicists have discovered a phase-changing quantum material — and a method for finding more like it — that could potentially be used to create flash like memory capable of storing quantum bits of information, or qubits, even when a quantum computer is powered down.

Researchers from NTT, the University of Tokyo, RIKEN, and Kyushu University have created a new quantum computing architecture which separates memory from processing to improve efficiency.

In a workshop held on 6th March 2025 at Innopolis University, the foundations for the Tatarstan Quantum Consortium were established, marking a significant step towards ensuring that Tatarstan becomes a leader in the use of quantum computing and technologies by 2030. The consortium discussed quantum computing, quantum networks, quantum memory, and quantum sensing, but the priority was to enhance quantum computing. This initiative aims to drive advancements across various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, logistics, the financial industry, materials science, machine learning, and cryptography, representing a promising development for both the region’s future and the global quantum landscape.

In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists at WashU have created a new type of “time crystal,” a novel phase of matter that defies common perceptions of motion and time.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced today it has signed a joint research agreement with Quantinuum K.K., Keio University, SoftBank Corp., Mitsui & Co., Ltd., YOKOHAMA National University, and LQUOM, Inc. Their collaboration aims to enable deployable and scalable quantum information processing by achieving and demonstrating the connection of multiple quantum devices in a practical environment.

Superconducting circuits are being used at TU Wien and ISTA to create new types of quantum systems that are much easier to control and much more tunable than natural quantum systems like atoms.

Researchers at the University of Rochester—including John Nichol, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy—have taken a key step toward reducing instability in quantum systems, by focusing on an elusive state called a nuclear-spin dark state.

The research group led by Prof. Yunfei Pu and Prof. Luming Duan from Tsinghua’s Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences has recently achieved multiplexing-enhanced generation of heralded atom-photon quantum entanglement over a 12 km fiber with a cold atom quantum repeater node. This work breaks several world records for metropolitan-scale (>10 km) quantum network.
