IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, today announced early results from its work with Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) – a German-based research center for fundamental science – to run combinatorial optimization problems on IonQ Aria. The results demonstrate quantum computing’s potential as a more effective solution than traditional classical computing when tackling equations with multiple variables in a dense environment, such as a bustling airport.

Illinois governor Governor J.B. Pritzker earmarked $500 million for quantum in his latest budget proposal. The proposal includes $300 million for a cryogenic facility.

This constitutes a major milestone on the path to the certification of QKD products. The Protection Profile was developed within the framework of the ETSI Industry Specification Group ISG-QKD, to which ID Quantique has contributed since its inception in 2008. The Protection Profile has subsequently been fully validated by the SGS evaluation lab in Graz, and the evaluation has been certified by the German certification body BSI.

During a live webinar, Infleqtion, the world’s leading quantum information company, shared a broad business update, including the first look at its new 5-year quantum computing roadmap as well as new partnerships and customer wins that underscore the company’s progress toward commercializing quantum solutions at scale. Taking center stage in the company’s roadmap is Sqorpius, the next phase of Infleqtion’s quantum computing program.

Infleqtion, the world's leading quantum information company, is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to develop and deliver a cutting-edge neutral atom quantum computing testbed for the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). The Quantum Computing SBRI program, supported by Innovate UK, aims to deploy seven quantum computing testbeds at the NQCC by March 2025.

The proposed 24-qubit quantum computing system will be based on Rigetti’s fourth generation Ankaa™-class architecture and will be made available to NQCC researchers for testing, benchmarking, and exploratory applications development.

Infleqtion today announced it has acquired two integrated silicon photonics companies: SiNoptiq Inc. and Morton Photonics Inc. These acquisitions enable Infleqtion to expedite plans for chip-scale integration of lasers and photonic and atomic systems, which is essential for commercializing quantum products, such as sensors and quantum computers, as well as bolstering the overall quantum supply chain and enabling quantum manufacturing at scale.

Today, the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative (CQC) joins organizations around the world in celebrating World Quantum Day, an international recognition of the people, ideas, and technologies shaping the future of quantum science.

The UN has declared 2025 as the “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. EPFL is leading the way in cutting-edge quantum research and the democratization of these exciting technologies.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) awards 11 emerging UK research leaders with a Quantum Technology Career Acceleration Fellowship.
