Quantum technology jointly developed at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and National University of Singapore (NUS) has now been spun off into a new deep tech startup, AQSolotl.

Alice & Bob, a global frontrunner in the race for fault-tolerant quantum computing, has unveiled its white paper and five-year roadmap. The white paper outlines a clear path to achieving useful quantum computing through Alice & Bob’s cat qubit technology, which promises to deliver high-fidelity logical qubits while using significantly fewer hardware and energy resources compared to alternative approaches.

In an article published September 23, 2024 in the journal Physical Review A, JQI researchers proposed a way to use the physics of superconducting junctions to let each function as more than one qubit. They also outlined a method to use the new qubit design in quantum simulations. While these proposed qubits might not immediately replace their more established peers, they illustrate the rich variety of quantum physics that remains to be explored and harnessed in the field.

An new project, launched by the European Commission and supported by the Quantum Flagship, is set to transform the way in which Earth monitoring is conducted by providing more accurate data on changes in ice melt, groundwater depletion, and ocean circulation. CARIOQA-PMP is a new €17 million project that seeks to improve traditional gravity-sensing methods by incorporating the capabilities of quantum sensors.

Quantum Source, an Israel-based company developing, technology for powerful, cost-effective, practical photonic quantum computers, announced today it has raised a $50M Series A investment round led by Eclipse, with participation from Standard Investments, Level VC, Canon Equity, as well as existing investors Pitango First, Grove Ventures, 10D, and Dell Technologies Capital.

Quantum Flagship unveils new roadmap with calls to end reliance on outside nations for developing essential components and hardware and position Europe as the world’s first ‘Quantum Valley’. Quantum experts met policymakers and representatives at the European Commission in Brussels today to present the new Strategic Research and Industry Agenda SRIA 2030: Roadmap and Quantum Ambitions over this Decade.

Researchers at Deutsche Telekom Innovation Laboratories (T-Labs), together with the quantum networking company Qunnect (US & NL), have reached a milestone on the path to the quantum internet: demonstration of sustained, high fidelity (99%) transmission of entangled photons across 30 kilometers of commercially deployed fiber for 17 days.

Today, the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative (CQC) joins organizations around the world in celebrating World Quantum Day, an international recognition of the people, ideas, and technologies shaping the future of quantum science.

A team of Rice University researchers reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon predicted over half a century ago, opening pathways for revolutionary applications in quantum computing, communication and sensing.

Qolab, today announced its participation in the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) as a co-leader, together with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), of a consortium that is building a quantum supercomputer. Qolab is spearheading the hardware development of the consortium, focusing on designing and fabrication of the quantum processors.
