Nu Quantum announces today a milestone that for the first time opens the door to modular, distributed quantum computers of different qubit modalities and providers: a proof-of-principle prototype that will enable quantum computers to be connected to a quantum network. This technology, a Qubit-Photon Interface, is the equivalent of today’s Network Interface Cards (NICs), which today connect every single computer in a data centre together, and have enabled the Cloud and AI markets.

Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) and Xanadu, a leader in quantum computing, have launched a new project to harness the power of quantum computing in advancing materials science simulations. This collaboration focuses on developing quantum algorithms to improve the design, characterization, and optimization of complex materials, including those with desired quantum properties critical for future mobilities. The initiative targets at new avenues towards material discovery and development, with broad applications across quantum sensors, energy technologies, and beyond.

PensionDanmark has invested 10 million dollars in the American quantum computing company Atom Computing, which is on its way to establishing itself in Denmark for the benefit of the Danish quantum environment.

oday Microsoft announced a game-changing collaboration to extend our lead in the race: together we will build the world’s most powerful quantum computer on a path to scientific and commercial advantage. Microsoft and Atom Computing have been working closely together to accelerate the development of fault-tolerant quantum supercomputers that can solve impactful problems too difficult for even the most powerful classical supercomputing systems.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $65 million in funding in quantum computing for 10 projects, comprising a total of 38 separate awards.

A study by more than a dozen scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory examines potential strategies to integrate quantum computing with the world’s most powerful supercomputing systems in the pursuit of science.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO) are pleased to announce the appointment of Nadia Carlsten as CEO of Danish Centre for AI Innovation A/S (DCAI), a company which will own and run Denmark’s first AI supercomputer, Gefion.

An MIT-led group shows how to achieve precise control over the properties of Weyl semimetals and other exotic substances.

LightSolver, inventor of a new laser-based computing paradigm, today announced that it has been selected for the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Program. The company will receive an initial grant of €2.5 million from the EIC Fund combined with a future equity investment of €10 million, totaling €12.5M. This recognition places LightSolver among 68 companies chosen from a highly competitive pool of 969 applicants.

A team of researchers theoretically obtain, for the first time, certifiable bounds on many-body ground-state properties beyond the energy with competitive performance. The resulting method is general and scalable.
