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.

Microsoft’s topological qubit is constructed of indium arsenide and aluminum, which becomes a superconductor at very low temperatures. It is the result of nearly two decades’ work by a Microsoft team led by Chetan Nayak, Microsoft technical fellow and professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara. In this edited conversation, Nayak, who got his start in physics as a Harvard College undergraduate in the late 1980s and early 1990s, spoke with the Gazette about the advance and about his experience treading the sometimes-difficult path of discovery.

Rigetti Computing, Inc. , a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

At the launch of Europe’s first 50-qubit superconducting quantum computer, developed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and IQM Quantum Computers, Quanscient demonstrated a groundbreaking achievement: the world’s first multi-time-step CFD simulation with Quantum Lattice-Boltzmann Method (QLBM) executed on a superconducting quantum computer.

Oxford Instruments NanoScience today introduces its low temperature, superconducting magnet measurement system for fundamental materials physics, TeslatronPT Plus. The system promises simpler access to high performance measurement capabilities, allowing users to spend more time on the measurement rather than the set-up, while gaining a flexible, scalable and secure system.

New quantum technologies developed by the Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) are driving novel scientific discoveries in physics, giving scientists advanced tools to explore complex behaviors of interacting quantum particles and the physical properties of materials. QSA, a National Quantum Information Science Research Center led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, conducts research that fuels the development of quantum-enabled materials and technologies, leveraging quantum information science to accelerate the discovery and design of advanced materials for energy applications. QSA scientists from 15 different institutions are collaborating to advance materials physics and build the future of fundamental scientific discovery as the scientific community builds on powerful classical computers and enters the quantum realm for processing information better and faster.
