Breakthrough in materials research: A team from the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat has developed an innovative protective film for 2D quantum materials that could play a key role in shaping the future of electronics.

Diraq, a global leader in quantum computing using silicon ‘quantum dot’ technology, today announced the official opening of its new state-of-the-art commercial quantum computing laboratory located on the campus of UNSW in Sydney, Australia.

South Korea is set to introduce cloud services powered by quantum computing and initiate test flights for urban air mobility (UAM) in the capital region as part of its ambitious New Growth 4.0 strategy

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has selected the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as administrator of the U.S. National Committee (USNC) TAG to ISO-IEC/JTC3 Quantum technologies. NIST invites all U.S. parties interested in engaging with the new JTC, including leading technical working groups in specific quantum technical areas, or potentially serving as technical advisor of the USNC TAG

Quantum Motion, a UK-based quantum computing scale-up founded by Professor John Morton, University College London (UCL), and Professor Simon Benjamin, University of Oxford, has been selected by the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) to build a quantum processor test bed for its site in Oxfordshire. Quantum Motion’s prototype system will be based on the same silicon MOS platform used throughout the consumer electronics industry today, while the test bed forms part of NQCC’s vision to enable the UK to solve some of the most complex and challenging problems facing society by harnessing the potential of quantum computing.

The world’s most efficient quantum dot (QD) solar cell has been developed by the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST). A quantum dot solution and a device used in the development of the solar cell can maintain high performance even after long-term storage, taking a step closer to the commercialization of next-generation solar cells.

A new agreement on AI compute, one of the fundamental building blocks which sits at the heart of how AI is used and developed.

A significant breakthrough has been achieved by quantum physicists from Dresden and Würzburg. They’ve created a semiconductor device where exceptional robustness and sensitivity are ensured by a quantum phenomenon.

Recently, Quantinuum‘s Oxford team has made big strides in our understanding of “photonic”, or light-based, quantum computing. First, they developed a string-diagram formalism for describing linear and nonlinear optics. Then, they applied their formalism to solve outstanding problems in the field.

QDI Systems, a deep technology company based in Groningen, has announced its Series A funding of 5 million euros to scale up its revolutionary quantum dots technology for the medical sector and new markets.
