Airbus and BMW Group have pushed quantum computing forward another step to leverage its significant potential for future mobility solutions. At Q2B, the companies have unveiled the winners of the Quantum Computing Challenge, an international initiative to identify and mature quantum solutions for the most promising mobility applications.

The DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI) of the German Aerospace Center has selected IQM Quantum Computers (IQM), a global leader in superconducting quantum computers, to develop quantum embedding algorithms for the simulation of materials science systems.

Quantum computer manufacturing specialist SDT, announced that it has successfully raised KRW 20 billion (USD 14 million) in a pre-IPO funding round. This achievement marks a significant milestone as the company accelerates its plans to become Korea’s first publicly listed quantum technology firm by the second half of 2025.

Seven leading businesses have joined Digital Catapult’s latest quantum innovation accelerator to fast track the development of solutions and accelerate the practical application of deep tech. Aiming to help solve complex market challenges in major sectors of the UK economy including transport, defence and telecommunications, the programme convenes unique quantum capabilities and innovation consultancy to de-risk technology adoption.

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.

Quantum Brilliance (QB), a global leader in diamond-based quantum technology, today announced the first purchase of a room temperature quantum accelerator in the European market by Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF (Fraunhofer IAF) following the company’s participation in a public tender.
