The Novera QPU Partner Program aims to enable high-performing, on-premises quantum computing by creating an ecosystem of quantum computing hardware, software, and service providers who build and offer integral components of a functional quantum computing system. Novera QPU customers can work with Novera QPU partners to build a quantum computer powered by the Novera QPU that satisfies their system requirements and quantum computing research objectives.

Now online, the IBM quantum system will expand the longstanding RPI and IBM partnership to accelerate quantum computing research, workforce development, and education in New York.

Engineers from Diraq, a world leader in the development of quantum processors using silicon ‘quantum dot’ technology, reached a key milestone by unlocking the potential of quantum computers to operate at warmer temperatures, accelerating the development of more powerful, cost-effective and energy-efficient systems.

onQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced it has generated photons entangled with ions repeatedly and reproducibly, creating a quantum state which allows future quantum systems to communicate and transfer information between each other.

ORCA Computing, has announced the acquisition of the Austin, Texas-based Integrated Photonics Division of GXC. This division is known for delivering advanced photonics solutions to top U.S. commercial and government entities including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Company achieves #AQ 35 one year ahead of schedule, enabling larger and more sophisticated circuits to be run on one of the world’s most powerful quantum systems.

Alice & Bob, a leading hardware developer in the race to fault tolerant quantum computers, in collaboration with the research institute Inria, today announced a new quantum error correction architecture – low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes on cat qubits – to reduce hardware requirements for useful quantum computers.

Diraq today announced that it was awarded a Stage A contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to work on its recently announced Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). This initiative, led by the US Government, seeks to determine whether it’s possible to build an industrially useful quantum computer much faster than conventional predictions. It represents a tangible investment by the US Government in progress toward realizing the promise of commercially viable quantum computing systems.

Rigetti Computing, Inc. (“Rigetti” or the “Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, announced today that it was selected to participate in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). The primary goal of QBI is to determine if any approach to quantum computing can achieve utility-scale operation by 2033. QBI will use a multi-stage approach, Stages A, B, and C, to assess the proposed concepts, with each stage representing an increased level of scrutiny. Rigetti will advance to Stage A, a 6-month performance period focused on the Company’s utility-scale quantum computer concept worth up to $1 million upon completion of program milestones.

Xanadu, a leading quantum computing company pioneering photonic-based hardware and the quantum programming software, PennyLane, has been selected to participate in Stage A of the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), a groundbreaking program launched by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the United States.
