This week, Microsoft made a bold claim that could shift expectations, unveiling Majorana 1, a quantum processing unit built on a topological core using a new class of materials called topoconductors. This marks not just a theoretical leap, but a tangible step forward in the real-world pursuit of fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Oxford University’s brand new MSc in Quantum Technologies is an innovative interdisciplinary course that provides students with a technical overview of modern quantum technologies for computing, sensing and communications. The 12-month course has an emphasis on industry connections, practical training and research projects.

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter.

U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) today introduced bipartisan legislation to expand the United States’ capacity to invest in quantum information science and research and development (R&D) through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). As quantum science, engineering, and technology advances, the DOE Quantum Leadership Act of 2025 would reinvigorate R&D projects at DOE by authorizing more than $2.5 billion in funding over the next five years—well above the $625 million for DOE-related programs laid out in the now-expiredNational Quantum Initiative Act of 2018. The DOE Quantum Leadership Act would also provide DOE the authority to expand its current quantum R&D initiatives.

Pritzker Molecular Engineering researchers entangled two physically separate resonators.
