Bluefors today announced a new, compact, high-performance, two-stage pulse tube cryocooler – the Cryomech PT205 – designed to support advanced scientific applications and superconducting technologies.

Today, Bluefors has launched an enhanced cooling solution that optimizes the integration of their Cryomech range of pulse tube cryocoolers – essential components in the initial stages of cooling – into Bluefors LD and XLD cryogenic measurement systems to deliver significantly greater cooling power to their systems.

Delft Circuits, a developer of high-density connectivity solutions, has launched a turnkey High-Density Input/Output (HD I/O) system, that’s been specifically engineered to meet the demanding needs of quantum computing.

Qolab, Inc., a leading innovator in quantum computing hardware, today announced an investment from Applied Ventures, LLC, the venture capital arm of Applied Materials, Inc. This Series A investment marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between Qolab and Applied Materials to accelerate the development and scalable manufacturing of superconducting qubits.

Physicists at the University of Cologne have taken an important step forward in the pursuit of topological quantum computing by demonstrating the first-ever observation of Crossed Andreev Reflection (CAR) in topological insulator (TI) nanowires. This finding, published under the title ‘Long-range crossed Andreev reflection in topological insulator nanowires proximitized by a superconductor’ in Nature Physics, deepens our understanding of superconducting effects in these materials, which is essential for realizing robust quantum bits (qubits) based on Majorana zero-modes in the TI platform — a major goal of the Cluster of Excellence ‘Matter and Light for Quantum Computing’ (ML4Q).

SEEQC is installing the UK’s first-of-its-kind Cross-Qubit Scaling Platform at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in Oxfordshire.

SkyWater Technology, Inc. (or “SkyWater”), a U.S.-based Trusted technology realization partner, and D-Wave Quantum, Inc. (or “D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, today announced that D-Wave’s Advantage2 annealing quantum computer prototype, fabricated by SkyWater, was used to achieve computational supremacy in quantum simulation. The landmark research was published today by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in its journal, Science, one of the world’s most respected scientific journals, known for publishing high-impact research that advances global scientific and technological progress.

QuamCore, a deep tech startup redefining quantum computing scalability, announced today its emergence from stealth with $9 million in seed funding. Founded in 2022, QuamCore has spent the past two years developing its breakthrough superconducting quantum processor architecture, working in stealth mode to solve the critical scalability challenges that have long prevented practical quantum computing. The company has now emerged with a patented architecture that enables the integration of 1 million qubits into a single cryostat - a milestone previously thought impossible. This breakthrough dramatically reduces the size, energy consumption, and cost of quantum computers, unlocking practical applications across pharmaceuticals, AI, materials science, and energy.

Led by Professor Pasquale Scarlino at EPFL, they developed a superconducting Kerr resonator, a device with controllable quantum properties, and engineered it to experience a two-photon drive, which sends pairs of photons into the system to carefully control its quantum state and study how it transitions between different phases.

In a new development that could help redefine the future of technology, a team of physicists has uncovered a fundamental insight into the upper limit of superconducting temperature.
