Quantum Machines, the leading provider of processor-based quantum controllers, and Bluefors, the global leader in cryogenic measurement systems, announced today an extended OEM agreement. With the agreement, Quantum Machines’ QCage is available through Bluefors.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are entering into a memorandum of understanding with the intent to collaborate in efforts to research, develop, deploy and evaluate technology and analytically based solutions to challenges in the area of quantum information science and engineering, including networking, sensing, and computing.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, announced today that it has won a contract through a competitive solicitation with the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) to design a first-of-its-kind, networked quantum computing system for the Department of Defense (DOD).

Austria recently officially signed the European Declaration on Quantum Technologies, which establishes strategic cooperation between EU member states to promote quantum technologies. The declaration was signed by all three research departments BMBWF, BMK and BMAW, which underlines its great importance for the entire research and innovation system.

The consortium of Queensland universities includes The University of Queensland, Griffith, University, Queensland University of Technology, University of Southern Queensland and the University of the Sunshine Coast.

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Prof. Andrew Cleland has been named a 2024 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow, the U.S. Department of Defense’s flagship single-investigator award for basic research.

Researchers have developed a new method to significantly enhance quantum technology performance by using the cross-correlation of two noise sources to extend coherence time, improve control fidelity, and increase sensitivity for high-frequency sensing. This innovative strategy addresses key challenges in quantum systems, offering a tenfold increase in stability and paving the way for more reliable and versatile quantum devices.

Zapata AI and D-Wave Quantum today announced a significant expansion to their joint commercial partnership, designed to accelerate the development and delivery of integrated quantum and generative AI solutions in D‑Wave’s Leap cloud platform.

A Research team led by academician GUO Guangcan, Prof. LI Chuanfeng and Prof. LIU Biheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborating with Prof. Giulio Chiribella from the University of Hong Kong, constructed a coherent superposition of quantum evolution with two opposite directions in a photonic system and confirmed its advantage in characterizing input-output indefiniteness. Their study was published in Physical Review Letters.
