To bring quantum scaling closer to reality, researchers from 14 institutions collaborated through the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), a Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, National Quantum Information Science Research Center. Together, they constructed the ARQUIN framework—a pipeline to simulate large-scale distributed quantum computers as different layers. Their results were published in ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has launched Qibo, an end-to-end, open-source platform for quantum computing programming.

erra Quantum, a global leader in quantum technology, today announced the successful demonstration of a new type of superconductivity – a significant breakthrough in physics and superconducting technology. “Type III” superconductors feature superconducting islands separated by non-superconducting regions, resulting in unique magnetic and electrical properties.

QuantrolOx is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Anyon Technologies, a hardware-focused startup specializing in the development of state-of-the-art highly scalable modular quantum computing systems based on a comprehensive suite of differentiating proprietary technologies including novel high-performance superconducting quantum processor gate and control architecture, quantum networking protocol, real-time dynamic control electronics, and cryogenics.

Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced computing today announces having signed a partnership with IQM Quantum Computers – a global leader in designing, building, and selling superconducting quantum computers – to make quantum computing a reality across businesses and organizations.

A recent collaboration between the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago addresses this problem by using the using the environment as a help, instead of a hindrance. In using the environment of superconducting qubits, sometimes referred to as a reservoir, the researchers show that more stable entanglement can be created.

Researchers at Paderborn University have now successfully constructed Europe’s largest sampling-based quantum computer. The ‘PaQS’ (‘Paderborn Quantum Sampler’) was built up as part of the PhoQuant funding initiative by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) by the researchers at Paderborn University with support from Menlo Systems, Fraunhofer IOF Jena and Swabian Instruments. The project is coordinated by Q.ANT, a German company specialising in industrial quantum technologies, and will soon launch a second, cloud-accessible sampling-based quantum computer located at Fraunhofer IOF in Jena. This project, with a funding of around 50 million euros, combines expertise from 13 science and industry partners to put Germany at the international forefront of photonic quantum computing.

University of Copenhagen mathematicians have developed a recipe for upgrading quantum computers to simulate complex quantum systems, such as molecules. Their discovery brings us closer to being able to predict how new drugs will behave within our bodies and has the potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical development.

Physicists from the University of Basel have succeeded in coupling two Andreev qubits coherently over a macroscopic distance for the first time. They achieved this with the help of microwave photons generated in a narrow superconducting resonator. The results of the experiments and accompanying calculations were recently published in Nature Physics, laying the foundation for the use of coupled Andreev qubits in quantum communication and quantum computing.

Innovate UK’s £1.5 million MARCONI project is set to transform the landscape of quantum key distribution (QKD) by developing and demonstrating high-fidelity, modular, and scalable receiver modules. QKD is a secure communication method that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to generate and distribute cryptographic keys between two parties, ensuring that any attempt at eavesdropping can be detected.
