Milad Marvian, an assistant professor in the University of New Mexico School of Engineering, is part of a $7.5 million Department of Energy (DOE) project to research quantum algorithm theory and advance the study of quantum computing.

Jun Ye, a professor of physics and a JILA and NIST Fellow, has been named the inaugural holder of the Monroe Endowed Professorship in Physics. This prestigious new professorship, the result of a $1 million endowment from CU alumnus Chris Monroe, underscores the university’s growing prominence in quantum information science and applied quantum physics.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), have recently signed a strategic partnership with the UAE Space Agency (UAE SA), announced today at GITEX, to establish a comprehensive quantum communication infrastructure, deploying UAE-built Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technologies.

A paper recently published in Nature Communications from UChicago PME’s High Lab and Argonne National Laboratory has solved a major hurdle facing researchers working with diamond by creating a novel way of bonding diamonds directly to materials that integrate easily with either quantum or conventional electronics.

To bring quantum scaling closer to reality, researchers from 14 institutions collaborated through the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), a Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, National Quantum Information Science Research Center. Together, they constructed the ARQUIN framework—a pipeline to simulate large-scale distributed quantum computers as different layers. Their results were published in ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has launched Qibo, an end-to-end, open-source platform for quantum computing programming.

On October 11, 2024, the International Council of Quantum Industry Associations (ICQIA), submitted a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, advocating for the prioritization of quantum technologies during Canada’s G7 Presidency in 2025. This critical moment provides Canada with a unique opportunity to lead the global conversation on quantum innovation, continuing its legacy of driving major international initiatives through the G7.

Researchers at Paderborn University have now successfully constructed Europe’s largest sampling-based quantum computer. The ‘PaQS’ (‘Paderborn Quantum Sampler’) was built up as part of the PhoQuant funding initiative by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) by the researchers at Paderborn University with support from Menlo Systems, Fraunhofer IOF Jena and Swabian Instruments. The project is coordinated by Q.ANT, a German company specialising in industrial quantum technologies, and will soon launch a second, cloud-accessible sampling-based quantum computer located at Fraunhofer IOF in Jena. This project, with a funding of around 50 million euros, combines expertise from 13 science and industry partners to put Germany at the international forefront of photonic quantum computing.

In a major step for India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM), selected premier institutions to establish Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) were announced in the virtual presence of Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Earth Sciences, MoS PMO, Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Space and MoS Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, today in New Delhi.

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that its post-quantum research team received recognition at CRYPTOLOGY2024, the 9th International Cryptology and Information Security Conference held this week in Malaysia.
