With the release of version 1.1 of the Intel Quantum Software Development Kit (SDK) on the Intel® Developer Cloud or qBraid, developers now have more options to use this full quantum computer in simulation, including the Intel® Quantum Compiler, Quantum Runtime and simulation of quantum hardware. Intel Quantum SDK 1.1 expands the capabilities of the high-level programming environment with new features, including an open source compiler front end, new target qubit simulator back ends and customizable qubit noise models, as well as more powerful programming tools for coding in familiar patterns.

Xanadu, a world leader in photonic quantum computing, received a repayable contribution from the Government of Canada, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), to help companies advance and commercialize their quantum products. This funding, through the Regional Quantum Initiative (RQI), will accelerate the development of PennyLane, Xanadu's open-source, cloud-based software framework for quantum machine learning, quantum chemistry, and quantum computing.
