Lufthansa Is Collaborating With the Universität Hamburg to Develop Quantum Algorithms Aimed at Enhancing Airport Operational Efficiency
The Institute for Quantum Physics at Universität Hamburg is collaborating with Lufthansa Industry Solutions to develop quantum optimization algorithms aimed at enhancing airport operational efficiency, targeting the Airport Gate Assignment Problem (AGAP) faced by airports worldwide. They are researching a scalable quantum algorithm that takes into account all realistic boundary conditions at airports. Upon successful development, Lufthansa will become the first company in the world to leverage quantum computers to solve AGAP computational tasks.

Fujitsu and ANU to Bring World-Class Quantum Computing to Australia
Fujitsu and ANU to Bring World-Class Quantum Computing to Australia
Fujitsu today announced that Fujitsu Australia Limited and The Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra concluded a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to ensure that industry and government professionals, researchers, academics, and students in Australia will soon have access to a world-class quantum research facility. The agreement will see the two organizations partner to establish a center for quantum research, with ambitions to build an onsite quantum computer.
New leap in Belgian quantum communication infrastructure: imec, UGent and Belnet realize first QKD links
New leap in Belgian quantum communication infrastructure: imec, UGent and Belnet realize first QKD links
BeQCI, the consortium charged with deploying the first ever open quantum communication infrastructure in Belgium, has reached an important milestone in its Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) mission. Belnet, the Belgian National Research Network, has successfully set up the required infrastructure and realized the first QKD links together with imec and UGent.
A Japanese Research Team Has Discovered a New One-Dimensional Topological Insulator That Can Be Used to Construct Qubits.
Recently, a research team composed of several Japanese universities and research institutions discovered a new one-dimensional topological insulator. By preparing and observing a single helical chain composed of tellurium (Te) atoms, the team proved that the electric charges did indeed appear at the endpoints of the chains, concluding that the Te single helical chain is a one-dimensional topological insulator material.

A Route to Scalable Majorana Qubits
A Route to Scalable Majorana Qubits
Researchers at QuTech have found a way to make Majorana particles in a two-dimensional plane. This was achieved by creating devices that exploit the combined material properties of superconductors and semiconductors. The inherent flexibility of this new 2D platform should allow one to perform experiments with Majoranas that were previously inaccessible. The results are published in Nature.

The Coldest Lab in New York Has a New Quantum Offering
Columbia physicists have taken molecules to a new ultracold limit and created a Bose-Einstein condensate—a state of matter where quantum mechanics reigns.
Milestone in Quantum Simulation With Circular Rydberg Qubits
Milestone in Quantum Simulation With Circular Rydberg Qubits
A team of researchers from the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart is making important progress in the field of quantum simulation and quantum computing based on Rydberg atoms by overcoming a fundamental limitation: the limited lifetime of Rydberg atoms. Circular Rydberg states are showing enormous potential for overcoming this limitation. The renowned journal Physical Review X reports on this in its latest issue.
Physicists Arrange Atoms in Extremely Close Proximity
Physicists Arrange Atoms in Extremely Close Proximity
MIT physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations that could generate the first purely magnetic quantum gate — a key building block for a new type of quantum computer.
