IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced its participation in SuperCompute 24 (SC24), taking place November 17-22 in Atlanta. SuperCompute, one of the largest international high-performance computing (HPC) events, gathers leading experts across HPC and adjacent research fields to showcase the latest developments and research in computing. This year, a dedicated quantum track and pavilion will be featured in the exhibit hall, spotlighting advancements in quantum computing. IonQ will be offering a preview of some of its newest innovations in hybrid quantum-classical computing, built to enable the development and deployment of quantum-accelerated commercial applications, including the IonQ Hybrid Services suite.

The rare-earth metal erbium could play a key role in future quantum networks: researchers from MPQ and TU Munich succeeded in spectrally resolving and individually controlling up to 360 erbium ions.

Nu Quantum, the leading quantum entanglement startup, is adopting CERN-born White Rabbit (WR) technology to enable data-centre scale quantum computing networks. WR enables highly precise timing synchronisation which is crucial for developing large-scale quantum networks. Nu Quantum is the first quantum industrial partner to join the WR Collaboration. The Nu Quantum team will also be previewing their Quantum Networking Unit (QNU) at the National Quantum Technology Showcase in London, a technology that will enable multiple quantum computing nodes to be woven together into a distributed quantum computing machine. This approach is essential to scale-out quantum computing and unlock transformative computational power to tackle outstanding challenges in industry and society.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Toshiba is at the forefront of establishing a quantum-safe future for Singapore, leveraging its extensive expertise in QKD technology. With over three decades of research in quantum technology, Toshiba has shifted from academia to commercializing QKD systems.
