The unique properties of quantum physics could help solve a longstanding problem that prevents microscopes from producing sharper images at the smallest scales, researchers say. The breakthrough, which uses entangled photons to create a new method of correcting for image distortion in microscopes, could lead to improved classical microscope imaging of tissue samples to help advance medical research.

BioInnovation Institute (BII), an international non-profit foundation incubating and accelerating world-class life science research, announced today that twelve new companies have entered its Venture Lab acceleration program for early-stage companies.

Quantum Circuits, Inc., a leader in fault tolerant quantum computers, today announced the appointment of Ray Smets as President and Chief Executive Officer. Ray brings strong high-tech executive business leadership with over three decades of experience building and leading teams across a diverse set of high-growth computing, data center and networking technologies. In his new role, Ray leads Quantum Circuits' world-renowned quantum physics and engineering teams to fulfill the potential of large-scale commercial quantum computing.

With its unprecedented precision, quantum sensing holds the potential to reform biomedical and health sciences by improving the diagnosis and prevention of diseases. The Novo Nordisk Foundation has awarded a grant of DKK 150 million to establish the Copenhagen Center for Biomedical Quantum Sensing, under which an international research collaboration aims to develop novel quantum sensing principles and techniques for early detection of diseases.

SpeQtral, a leading quantum communications company, proudly announces the appointment of four prominent experts to its Advisory Board. Prof. Artur Ekert, Mr. Carl Ward, Prof. Carlos Cid, and Mr. John Prisco, each experts in their respective fields of quantum cryptography, cybersecurity, and business transformation, will collectively steer SpeQtral's strategic vision, enhancing its position as a global leader in quantum security solutions.

Keyfactor, the identity-first security solution for modern enterprises, and Quantinuum, the world’s largest integrated quantum computing company, have partnered to strengthen the root of trust, a critical component in reliable public key infrastructures (PKIs) and code signing.

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have made a significant leap in the field of quantum materials by developing a novel measurement method that accurately detects minuscule temperature differences in the thermal Hall effect. This groundbreaking technique, capable of measuring temperature variations as small as 100 microkelvin, overcomes previous challenges posed by thermal noise, marking a pivotal moment in the study of quantum materials.

Europe is giving the go-ahead for the next technological leap for secure digitalization. The European Commission has commissioned a consortium (“Nostradamus”) led by Deutsche Telekom to build the testing infrastructure for quantum key distribution (QKD). This will enable the evaluation of European manufacturers’ QKD devices. Partners in the consortium are Thales, global leader in advanced technologies, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, as well as experts from across industry and academia. This paves the way for the implementation of EuroQCI – a highly secure pan-European communication network based on quantum technology. The governments of all EU member states and their citizens stand to benefit from more secure critical infrastructure.
