Equal1 today unveils Bell-1, the first quantum system purpose-built for the HPC era. Unlike first-generation quantum computers that demand dedicated rooms, infrastructure, and complex cooling systems, Bell-1 is designed for direct deployment in HPC-class environments. As a rack-mountable quantum node, it integrates directly alongside classical compute—as compact as a GPU server, yet exponentially more powerful for the world’s hardest problems. Bell-1 is engineered to eliminate the traditional barriers of cost, infrastructure, and complexity, setting a new benchmark for scalable quantum computing integration.

SEEQC, the first company to create digital chips to power full-stack quantum computing systems that work with all quantum computing technologies – has raised $30 million to further accelerate the capabilities and commercial rollout of its chip platform. The round was led by NordicNinja and Booz Allen Ventures with participation from SIP Capital, alongside existing investors EQT Ventures, M-Ventures (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) BlueYard Capital, FAM and Asset Management.

In a significant milestone for scalable quantum computing, Quantum Motion, a UK-based quantum computing scale-up founded by academics from University College London and Oxford University, has demonstrated rapid, large-scale characterisation of quantum devices fabricated using commercial semiconductor processes. Quantum Motion has designed a silicon chip featuring an integrated array of 1024 quantum dots on an area of less than 0.1mm² and validated them in less than 5 minutes—at least 100 times faster than the current state of the art. The chips were manufactured by GlobalFoundries, a leading semiconductor manufacturer, with whom Quantum Motion has announced a partnership to develop quantum processors based on a scalable silicon platform.

Quobly, a cutting-edge quantum computing startup, today announced a transformative collaboration with STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, to produce quantum processor units (QPUs) at scale. By leveraging STMicroelectronics’ advanced FD-SOI semiconductor process technologies, this collaboration is set to make large-scale quantum computing feasible and cost-effective, positioning both companies at the forefront of next-generation computing technologies.

Oxford Instruments NanoScience has installed three ProteoxMX dilution refrigerators at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), the UK's national lab for quantum computing at their Harwell Campus. The systems will be used by the NQCC’s research team, who are developing hardware architectures based on superconducting circuits.

Kipu Quantum, the leader in quantum software specializing in hardware- and application-specific solutions, and its PlanQK platform, have announced an enhanced collaboration with QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing. This partnership aims to deliver industrially relevant quantum solutions by providing PlanQK users with immediate access to QuEra’s Aquila 256-qubit quantum processors, enabling seamless quantum computing experiences powered by neutral-atom technology.

In research led by Ingvild Hansen, a PhD student at UNSW and Diraq and supervised by Henry Yang, the work detailed how can drive qubits simultaneously and perform two-qubit logic using the same global driving microwave field.

Diraq, a global leader in quantum computing based on silicon CMOS quantum dots continues to drive groundbreaking innovations in the field of scalable quantum computing. Today, The team successfully demonstrated consistent and repeatable operation with above 99% fidelity of two-qubit gates in the SiMOS (silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor) quantum dot platform.

Equal1, a global leader in silicon powered quantum computing, has announced a major milestone in quantum computing: the successful validation of a commercial CMOS process.

HRL Laboratories and Boeing have completed construction and technical validation on a quantum communication subassembly for Boeing’s Q4S satellite mission – a first-of-its-kind effort to demonstrate four-photon quantum entanglement swapping in space. This powerful capability is essential to enabling future secure communications and distributed quantum networks.
