On January 21, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) announced funding for quantum science projects, including six initiatives at uOttawa. These awards reinforce the University’s commitment to exploring quantum science and driving innovation in Canada.

the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions proudly announced an expansion to the Quantum in Space Collaboration, featuring an additional five signatories of support. The additional new signatories include Boeing, Axiom Space, USRA, Vescent, and Qrypt. Blue Origin is also currently reviewing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This is the second round of signatories, joining Infleqtion, Accenture, and Nebula, demonstrating the ongoing commitment and collaboration between the public and private sectors in fostering disruptive quantum technologies and building a space economy.

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.

The networked world is increasingly being shaken by digital sabotage, cyber attacks, malware and the like. Yet IT security is more important than ever these days. Networks based on quantum physics could significantly improve the security of relevant systems. So-called quantum repeaters form the basis for this. These devices have been the subject of intensive research for several years, but are not yet marketable. A new joint project, in which Paderborn University is involved, therefore aims to develop new concepts and demonstrate them on real test tracks outside the laboratory.

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).

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, will be presenting at CES 2025 this week, marking a key milestone as the event launches its first-ever dedicated quantum track: “Quantum Means Business: A Quantum World Congress Program.” CES is one of the world’s most influential technology events, showcasing the latest innovations that have shaped the future of technology for over 50 years.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industry, today announced the completion of its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Qubitekk, Inc., a prominent quantum networking company. The acquisition brings Qubitekk’s esteemed team, advanced technology, and extensive patent portfolio into IonQ’s operations, solidifying IonQ’s position at the forefront of quantum networking and computing.

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.

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.
