Italian supercomputing centre Cineca today announced an agreement with IQM Quantum Computers, a global leader in superconducting quantum computers, to deliver the most powerful quantum computer in Italy.

Bluefors, the world leading manufacturer of cryogenic measurement systems for quantum technology, today announced the opening of a new lab facility in Chicago. The facility will be used to provide the Bluefors Lab service, bringing the service into the United States for the first time. Bluefors Lab provides startups, research groups, and other organizations easy and convenient access to a cryogenic measurement system with a service-based model.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced that it is enabling research centers, academic institutions, and governments to purchase on-premises D-Wave Advantage quantum computing systems to help customers push the boundaries of quantum-fueled experimentation, development and usage.

Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, in partnership with Do IT Now, is proud to announce the signature of the procurement contract of EuroQCS-Spain quantum computer for EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. Under this agreement, MareNostrum-Ona, an adiabatic quantum computer, will be hosted at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), marking a significant milestone in the integration of quantum and supercomputing technologies across Europe.

BlueQubit, a quantum software startup founded by Stanford alumni, has announced a $10 million Seed funding round led by Nyca Partners, with participation from Restive, Chaac Ventures, Presto Tech Horizons, NKM Capital, BigStory, Untapped Ventures, Formula VC, and Granatus. This investment will support BlueQubit’s mission to deliver practical quantum advantage, equipping enterprises to solve complex problems that are increasingly beyond the reach of classical computing.

EuroHPC JU has signed agreements with LuxProvide (Luxembourg) & SURF (Netherlands) to host & operate two new quantum computers. The procurement of these systems will start early next year driving Europe's leadership in quantum computing technologies.

The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich received a 100-qubit quantum computer from Pasqal in mid-November. Pasqal is a world leader in neutral atoms quantum computing technology. The new quantum computer is part of the EuroHPC JU project HPCQS and will be coupled with the JURECA DC supercomputer at JSC. This will enable European researchers to use hybrid classical-quantum resources to solve complex challenges.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industry, announced today the completion of an industry-first demonstration of an end-to-end application workflow that leverages the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform alongside IonQ’s leading quantum computing hardware.

ID Quantique (IDQ) is proud to announce it is partnering with ORCA Computing, a leader in quantum computing, to incorporate IDQ’s breakthrough single-photon detection technology in ORCA’s newest PT-2 photonic quantum computing system.

The Agentur für Innovation in der Cybersicherheit GmbH (Cyberagentur) has today signed contracts with three international technology companies to develop mobile quantum computers. With an investment of over 35 million euros, this project marks a milestone in quantum research and lays the foundation for new fields of application for quantum computers. The aim is to enable mobile use in security and defence scenarios as well as in civilian applications.
