Over $4 million in Federal investment will allow researchers from the UBC Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute to form collaborations in quantum materials and computing, advancing innovative technologies such as quantum light sources for applications in computing, sensing, and communications.

BTQ Technologies Corp. , a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce to announce the publication of the research paper "Proof-of-Work Consensus by Quantum Sampling" in the prestigious journal Quantum Science and Technology, published by IOP Publishing. This peer-reviewed, open-access article marks a significant milestone in advancing sustainable and quantum-secure blockchain technology.

On the occasion of the extension of the program, a signing ceremony took place on January 20, 2025. Prof. Benoit-Antoine Bacon, President of UBC, Prof. Peter Middendorf, Rector of the University of Stuttgart, and Prof. Bernhard Keimer, Director of the MPI-FKF, attended the event.

DIGITAL, Canada’s Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies, announced new co-investments to support the commercialization and adoption of Canadian quantum technologies. Leveraging investments from Canada’s National Quantum Strategy and industry partners, these latest investments support the piloting of quantum solutions in environments where the technologies will be ‘put to the test’.

Canada has announced over CA$74 million (approximately $52 million) in funding for 107 quantum science projects, in order to advance quantum technologies in areas like quantum computing, communications, encryption, materials, and sensing. The funding aligns with Canada’s National Quantum Strategy and includes partnerships with private, public, and international organizations.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research arm of Abu Dhabi s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) and a global leader in scientific research, has announced a pioneering advancement in analogue quantum simulations. This breakthrough represents the first-ever successful demonstration of learning large-scale quantum simulator dynamics from data – a technology poised to revolutionize industries worldwide.

UConn physicists have partnered with Google Quantum AI and Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) quantum experts on a groundbreaking paper on the effects of gravitation on quantum information systems.

MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised them before they went on to solve the complicated puzzle behind those properties’ emergence. As a result, the work introduces a new platform for studying how materials behave at the most fundamental level, the world of quantum physics.

Scientists from Durham's top-rated Physics department have set a global milestone by achieving quantum entanglement of individual molecules using cutting-edge magic-wavelength optical tweezers. This achievement not only overcomes a fundamental challenge in quantum science but also opens up new possibilities in quantum computing, high-precision measurements, and physics research.

Currently, the most efficient way to create photon pairs requires sending lightwaves through a crystal large enough to see without a microscope. In a paper published today in Nature Photonics, a team led by Columbia Engineering researchers and collaborators, describe a new method for creating these photon pairs that achieves higher performance on a much smaller device using less energy. P. James Schuck, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering, helped lead the research team.
