IBM announced today the completion of its latest expansion of the IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie, New York, which operates the highest number of available utility-scale quantum computers at a single location in the world. These systems are a part of the more than a dozen quantum computers offered to global clients via the IBM cloud.

Welinq, a pioneering modular quantum computing company, is proud to announce the formation of its Scientific Advisory Board, composed of four of the world’s most influential figures in quantum science. This esteemed board will guide Welinq’s strategic direction and R&D efforts, positioning the company at the forefront of modular quantum computing—a critical architecture for the future of distributed quantum computing.

Rochester Institute of Technology has been awarded $3.97 million from the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH) to advance quantum chip technologies. It is part of a four-year award that could see the university attain nearly $10 million as the research progresses. The focus will be on scaling the power of quantum systems by entangling them across a photonic network.

Algorithmiq, a team pioneering the integration of quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and Network Science to solve complex problems in the Healthcare and Life Sciences, has today announced the commercial availability of its revolutionary Tensor Network Error Mitigation (TEM) solution, via IBM’s newly launched Qiskit Functions Catalog.

For the first time, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will run equipment developed at its research facilities on a commercially available quantum network at EPB Quantum Network powered by Qubitekk. Starting this month, ORNL is testing its Automatic Polarization Compensation (APC), a key technology needed to convey quantum data across a network while maintaining all its complexities and probabilities.

Nu Quantum, the leading quantum entanglement startup, has appointed Dr. Bob Sutor as a non-executive director (NED) on its board of directors. Dr. Sutor was a leader in IBM’s world-leading quantum efforts over his 39 year career at the company and is regarded as a leader of the quantum industry globally.

Prof. Michał Parniak and Michał Lipka from the University of Warsaw (UW) is Faculty of Physics developed a quantum-inspired super-resolving spectrometer for short pulses of light. In the future the device can be miniaturized on a photonic chip and applied in optical and quantum networks as well as in spectroscopic studies of matter. The invention was presented by the researchers in “Optica”.

Aliro today announced an agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to provide software and professional services that will enable AFRL to simulate, test, and operate entanglement-based quantum network infrastructure, including the innovative work of networking quantum computers with heterogeneous qubit platforms.

Boeing today announced the scheduled 2026 launch of a satellite – dubbed Q4S – which is designed to demonstrate quantum entanglement swapping capabilities on orbit. This Boeing-funded, first-of-its-kind space mission brings humanity closer to building a secure, global quantum internet that connects quantum sensors and computers.

Researchers at Purdue University have trapped alkali atoms (cesium) on an integrated photonic circuit, which behaves like a transistor for photons (the smallest energy unit of light) similar to electronic transistors. These trapped atoms demonstrate the potential to build a quantum network based on cold-atom integrated nanophotonic circuits. The team, led by Chen-Lung Hung, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the Purdue University College of Science, published their discovery in the American Physical Society’s Physical Review X.
