The procurement contract for EuroQCS-Italy, the EuroHPC quantum computer to be located in Italy, has been signed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and quantum computing company Pasqal, the selected vendor.

The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich received a 100-qubit quantum computer from Pasqal in mid-November. Pasqal is a world leader in neutral atoms quantum computing technology. The new quantum computer is part of the EuroHPC JU project HPCQS and will be coupled with the JURECA DC supercomputer at JSC. This will enable European researchers to use hybrid classical-quantum resources to solve complex challenges.

The procurement contract of Euro-Q-Exa, the EuroHPC quantum computer to be located in Germany, has been signed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the company IQM Quantum Computers, the selected vendor.

The procurement contract for the EuroQCS-France quantum computer, Lucy, has been signed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the selected French-German vendor partnership, including Quandela and attocube. Lucy will be a digital, MOSAIQ-12 photonic quantum computer, offering 12 physical qubits.

In a study published online in Nature, a research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei, Prof. CHEN Yuao, and Prof. YAO Xingcan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has, for the first time, observed the antiferromagnetic phase transition within a large-scale quantum simulator of the fermionic Hubbard model (FHM).

NVIDIA today announced that Australia’s Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre will add the NVIDIA® CUDA Quantum platform accelerated by NVIDIA Grace Hopper™ Superchips to its National Supercomputing and Quantum Computing Innovation Hub, furthering its work driving breakthroughs in quantum computing.

Scientists at EPFL have made a breakthrough in designing arrays of resonators, the basic components that power quantum technologies. This innovation could create smaller, more precise quantum devices.

BTQ Technologies Corp. (the "Company"), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding term sheet to invest €2,000,000 in QPerfect, a leading neutral atom quantum computing company based in Strasbourg.

Recently, a team of researchers led by Tobias Grass from Donostia International Physics Center in San Sebastián, with the participation of ICFO and ICREA Prof. Maciej Lewenstein, as well as researchers from ETH Zurich, Université de Lyon and TU Dortmund University, has published a Colloquium in Reviews of Modern Physics where they provide a comprehensive overview of these exotic quantum simulators. They cover various platforms, namely those based on atoms, electrons and photons, highlighting both their strengths and limitations. The paper also discusses how these platforms can enable scientists investigate phenomena across a wide range of fields, from condensed matter physics to cosmology.

Now, a joint collaboration between the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems (Politecnico de Torino), the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (Innsbruck), the University of Innsbruck, the Institute of Theoretical Physics (Jagiellonian University), the Mark Kac Center for Complex Systems Research (Jagiellonian University), and ICFO and ICREA Prof. Dr. Maciej Lewenstein, has provided an updated review, published in Reports on Progress in Physics. In this work, they have collected some of the most recent and exciting results on the investigation of non-standard Bose-Hubbard models, focusing on their application for atomic quantum simulators.
