The University of Basel and the University of Bern are setting up a new research center to enable the construction of superconducting quantum units. The Werner Siemens Foundation is supporting the project with a total of CHF 15 million over the next eleven years.

The EuroQCS-France consortium, led by GENCI and CEA, is pleased to announce that European researchers can now access a 12-qubit Quandela photonic quantum computing system remotely. This exciting development allows European users to begin programming and testing their applications on a real photonic quantum computer, months ahead of the anticipated deployment at TGCC (CEA’s computing center) of the on-premise Lucy system in the end of 2025. They can be supported by experts from a High-Level Support Team to port their applications onto the photonic quantum computer.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced its participation in NVIDIA’s first-ever Quantum Day, taking place at GTC on Thursday, March 20, in San Jose, California. IonQ will share details of several recent real-world demonstrations of quantum-accelerated computation for commercially-relevant applications alongside collaborators and partners Amazon Web Services (AWS), Ansys, AstraZeneca, and NVIDIA. Additionally, IonQ Executive Chair Peter Chapman will speak on IonQ’s progress in quantum on an exclusive industry leadership panel led by NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang.

The NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center, or NVAQC, announced today at the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference, is where these developments will happen. With an NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system and the NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking platform, the facility will house a supercomputer with 576 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs dedicated to quantum computing research.

GTC—NVIDIA today announced it is building a Boston-based research center to provide cutting-edge technologies to advance quantum computing.

Atom Computing announced today that it has been named to Fast Company’s renowned list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025.

Kipu Quantum, a leader in application and hardware-specific quantum computing solutions, announces that its Iskay Quantum Optimizer, a function available on Kipu’s PLANQK platform, is now available for use through IBM’s Qiskit Functions Catalog.

TreQ, the quantum systems engineering and manufacturing company, announced the launch of the Compass SG25B to break down the barriers to quantum innovation. A turnkey, open-architecture quantum computing system, Compass SG25B is designed for researchers and developers eager to move their work forward without the bottlenecks of infrastructure logistics.

Orange Quantum Systems reveals OrangeQS Juice today at the APS Global Physics Summit 2025. OrangeQS Juice is a state-of-the-art operating system to operate quantum systems and supports quantum computing research and qubit development.

Sensing and communication systems based on quantum-mechanical phenomena can greatly outperform today’s systems, in terms of accuracy and reliability, and are considered a pivotal part of developing next-generation networks. Developing quantum information and decision systems that come close to meeting the theoretical quantum advantages has been a longstanding challenge. Now, a team of researchers at MIT and the University of Ferrara (UniFe) in Italy has developed a framework that could open up new ways of pushing such quantum systems all the way to their fundamental limits.
