Oxford Ionics, a world leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, today announced it is working together with Quanscient, a leading provider of multiphysics simulation software, and aerospace manufacturer Airbus to develop quantum simulations for computational fluid dynamics.

Physicist Christian Schneider has been awarded one of the European Research Council's coveted Consolidator Grants. His project focuses on a special group of so-called two-dimensional materials and their optical properties.

QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced that all three research projects in which QuEra is involved have advanced to the second of three phases of the Wellcome Leap’s Quantum for Bio Challenge. The projects taking three of the coveted eight spots in the prestigious program further demonstrate QuEra’s importance in developing quantum computing applications in complex scientific fields, including healthcare and biology.

In a recent study published in Nature Physics, a team led by Associate Professor Shau-Yu Lan, at the Department of Physics, National Taiwan University, introduced an innovative method for producing quantum gases. By assembling and trapping atoms within a three-dimensional optical lattice and applying electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with adiabatic expansion, they reached nearly 100% efficiency at a speed around 100 times faster than previous methods. This advance could significantly boost cold atom platforms for quantum sensing and computing.

University of Melbourne Associate Professor Giuseppe Barca and his team were named the winners of the Association for Computing Machinery’s Gordon Bell Prize this morning (AEST) at the SC International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in Atlanta, Georgia.

Alice & Bob, a global leader in the race for fault-tolerant quantum computing, has announced the release of Dynamiqs, a pioneering quantum simulation library. Dynamiqs integrates NVIDIA accelerated computing, driving quantum simulations beyond state-of-the-art levels of performance and setting the stage for major breakthroughs in quantum research.

QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced the launch of a comprehensive full-stack quantum algorithm co-design program. This new initiative brings together businesses, research institutions, and QuEra’s team of experts to maximize the potential of current and future quantum computing capabilities. Much like the Apollo 11 guidance computer, where NASA engineers meticulously optimized limited computational resources to achieve remarkable results, QuEra's program aims to unlock significant efficiencies and improve performance through deep collaboration and a full-stack co-design approach. While not akin to landing on the moon, QuEra's co-design program aims to make the most of today's quantum resources to solve challenging problems.

Advancing quantum science is a national priority of the federal government, and a proposal to establish the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Quantum Center has been awarded $3.5 million from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The research group led by Professor Luming Duan at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Tsinghua University, made significant progress in the field of ion trap quantum simulation, observing for the first time the quantum superposition of topological defects in the experiment. The paper titled "Observation of quantum superposition of topological defects in a trapped ion quantum simulator" was recently published in Science Advances.

Finnish technology company Quanscient, a leader in cloud-based multiphysics simulation technology and quantum algorithms, announces today its new growth funding of €5.2 million. The round was led by prominent Nordic early-stage venture capital firm Crowberry Capital and joined by Speen Holding with follow-on investments from Finnish early-stage venture capital investors Maki.vc and First Fellow. The new funding will enable Quanscient to bring engineering simulations into the quantum era.
