Since their establishment in 2020, the five U.S. Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Centers. or NQISRCs, have been expanding the frontier of what’s possible in quantum computing, communication, sensing and materials in ways that will advance basic science for energy, security, communication and logistics. The centers have strengthened the national quantum information science. or QIS, ecosystem, achieving scientific and technological breakthroughs as well as training the next-generation quantum workforce.

Synergy Quantum, a global leader in military-grade quantum secure communication technologies, has announced the successful deployment of a state-of-the-art Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India. This strategic collaboration marks a pivotal step in strengthening India's national cryptographic resilience and advancing Post-Quantum Encryption (PQE) capabilities.

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced the development of a Quantum Technology-Based Random Access Memory Architecture, known as QRAM. This architecture successfully implements fundamental logical operations such as AND, OR, NOT, and NOR gates in quantum logic gates by combining key basic operations in quantum computing, such as the CNOT gate, V gate, and V+ gate. Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM) is a memory architecture specifically designed for quantum computing environments, with the core goal of enabling efficient reading and writing of information while maintaining the state of the quantum system. The design of QRAM is not only intended to leverage the parallel processing capabilities of quantum computing but also to utilize quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement to significantly enhance computational efficiency.

An international team of scientists headed by Dr. Lukas Bruder, junior research group leader at the Institute of Physics, University of Freiburg, has succeeded in producing and directly controlling hybrid electron-photon quantum states in helium atoms. To this end, they generated specially prepared, highly intense extreme ultraviolet light pulses using the FERMI free electron laser in Trieste, Italy. The researchers achieved control of the hybrid quantum states using a new laser pulse-shaping technique. Their results have been published in the journal Nature.

A brotherly research duo has discovered that when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces top quarks – the heaviest known fundamental particles – it regularly creates a property known as magic.

Scientists led by Tobias Kippenberg at EPFL have now achieved the long-sought goal: they successfully prepared six mechanical oscillators in a collective state, observed their quantum behavior, and measured phenomena that only emerge when oscillators act as a group. The research, published in Science, marks a significant step forward for quantum technologies, opening the door to large-scale quantum systems.

Scientists at EPFL have made important progress in quantum technology, achieving strong coupling between quantum dots in Germanium and microwave photons, paving the way for scalable quantum computing based on spin qubits.

The future of data security depends on the reliable application of quantum technology, but its widespread adoption requires rigorous verification. Researchers in Japan have developed a novel approach to verify quantum protocols, ensuring their reliability in safety- and security-critical applications. This advancement addresses the need for trustworthy quantum systems, which is essential for the secure deployment of quantum technologies in high-reliability systems.

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced the research of a new quantum algorithm—the Holographic Quantum Linear Solver (HQLS), which aims to provide a more efficient and resource-efficient quantum algorithm for solving the Quantum Linear System Problem (QLSP). This algorithm is based on a combination of Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA) and the classical shadow framework, overcoming the hardware resource bottlenecks of traditional quantum linear solver algorithms.

Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico have for the first time demonstrated a practical way to detect these “leakage errors” for neutral atom platforms. This achievement removes a major roadblock for one branch of quantum computing, bringing scientists closer to realizing the technology’s full potential. Many experts believe quantum computers will help reveal truths about the universe that are impossible to glean with current technology.
