Nearly 20 quantum computing companies have been chosen to enter the initial stage of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), in which they will characterize their unique concepts for creating a useful, fault-tolerant quantum computer within a decade.

MIT researchers developed a photon-shuttling “interconnect” that can facilitate remote entanglement, a key step toward a practical quantum computer.

Italian supercomputing centre Cineca today announced an agreement with IQM Quantum Computers, a global leader in superconducting quantum computers, to deliver the most powerful quantum computer in Italy.

A team of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and its partners have made significant advancements in random quantum circuit sampling with Zuchongzhi-3, a superconducting quantum computing prototype featuring 105 qubits and 182 couplers. Operating at a speed 10¹⁵ times faster than the most powerful supercomputer currently available and one million times faster than Google's latest published results, the achievement marks a major milestone in quantum computing and follows the success of its predecessor, Zuchongzhi-2.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and IQM Quantum Computers, one of the global leaders in superconducting quantum computers, have completed and launched Europe’s first 50-qubit superconducting quantum computer, now open to researchers and companies through VTT QX quantum computing service.

PsiQuantum today announces Omega, a quantum photonic chipset purpose-built for utility-scale quantum computing. Featured in a newly published paper in Nature, the chipset contains all the advanced components required to build million-qubit-scale quantum computers and deliver on the profoundly world-changing promise of this technology. Every photonic component is demonstrated with beyond-state-of-the-art performance. The paper shows high-fidelity qubit operations, and a simple, long-range chip-to-chip qubit interconnect – a key enabler to scale that has remained challenging for other technologies. The chips are made in a high-volume semiconductor fab, representing a new level of technical maturity and scale in a field that is often thought of as being confined to research labs. PsiQuantum will break ground this year on two datacenter-sized Quantum Compute Centers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago, Illinois.

Bluefors, the world leading manufacturer of cryogenic measurement systems for quantum technology, today announced the opening of a new lab facility in Chicago. The facility will be used to provide the Bluefors Lab service, bringing the service into the United States for the first time. Bluefors Lab provides startups, research groups, and other organizations easy and convenient access to a cryogenic measurement system with a service-based model.

Nu Quantum has launched the Quantum Data Centre Alliance (QDA) to bring together leading companies representing different layers of the quantum computing stack and create a forum on data centre-scale quantum computers. By collecting complimentary perspectives from across the ecosystem, the QDA presents an open community to discuss the opportunities and challenges on the road to building large, scalable, and robust quantum computing services.

Beginning in January 2025, users at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) will be able to access IBM’s quantum computers over the cloud for their research, allowing users to take advantage of these next-generation systems for certain scientific applications.

Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, in partnership with Do IT Now, is proud to announce the signature of the procurement contract of EuroQCS-Spain quantum computer for EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. Under this agreement, MareNostrum-Ona, an adiabatic quantum computer, will be hosted at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), marking a significant milestone in the integration of quantum and supercomputing technologies across Europe.
