The University of Strathclyde has partnered with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Quantum Motion to develop new ways to overcome the challenges of running quantum control electronics in extremely cold conditions.

PTB is one of the global leading institutions and has, up to now, developed an impressive series of different optical clocks – among which are single ion clocks and optical lattice clocks. Now, such high accuracy has also been demonstrated in a new type of clock, which has the potential to measure time and frequency 1000 times more accurately than the caesium clocks that currently realize the SI second. For this purpose, the new ion crystal clock was compared to other optical clocks and achieved a new accuracy record. The results of the measurement campaign have been published in the current issue of “Physical Review Letters”.

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.

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.

Researchers at Rice University have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer — a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study, published in Science Advances, details the use of a trapped-ion quantum simulator to model electron transfer dynamics with unprecedented tunability, unlocking new opportunities for scientific exploration in fields ranging from molecular electronics to photosynthesis.

A major result in quantum mechanics has been achieved: for the first time, the temporal evolution of a quantum system has been manipulated through interaction with light pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV). This achievement has been obtained by a team of researchers coordinated by Prof. Lukas Bruder from the University of Freiburg, in collaboration with 14 international institutes, including the Politecnico di Milano, the Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnologies of the National Research Council of Milan (CNR-IFN), the Institute of Materials Workshop of the National Research Council of Trieste (CNR-IOM), the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the National Laboratories of Frascati (Rome), and the Elettra Synchrotron in Trieste.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced today that fiscal year 2024 bookings will exceed $23 million, an increase of approximately 120% over fiscal year 2023 bookings. Contributing to the growth in bookings, the company also announced the first-ever customer purchase of a D-Wave Advantage annealing quantum computing system reflecting a significant expansion to the company’s revenue model as it broadens its overall go-to-market offering to include on-premise system sales.

The networked world is increasingly being shaken by digital sabotage, cyber attacks, malware and the like. Yet IT security is more important than ever these days. Networks based on quantum physics could significantly improve the security of relevant systems. So-called quantum repeaters form the basis for this. These devices have been the subject of intensive research for several years, but are not yet marketable. A new joint project, in which Paderborn University is involved, therefore aims to develop new concepts and demonstrate them on real test tracks outside the laboratory.

Miami University and Cleveland Clinic are partnering to advance education in quantum computing and elevate Ohio’s global position in this transformative field. Through an innovative partnership, Ohio’s first specialized degree programs and research experiences in quantum computing will be established. This initiative also will cultivate scientific and entrepreneurial talent to develop companies, elevate businesses, and advance organizations that leverage quantum computing.
