Fraunhofer IAO, Fraunhofer IPA and the IAT of the University of Stuttgart are pooling their research expertise to set up the cross-institute Fraunhofer Lab “flaQship”. The lab focuses on applied quantum computing in Stuttgart and Heilbronn.

The Spanish government’s Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, announced on Tuesday that the government will become a shareholder of San Sebastian-based Multiverse Computing with a co-investment of 67 million euros.

Quantum computing could be one of the big technological revolutions of the coming decades. At EPFL, scientists are at the forefront of harnessing quantum technologies to address real-world issues, aligning their efforts with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Argonne physicists have adapted superconducting nanowire photon detectors to be sensitive and precise high-energy particle detectors.

Xairos Systems, Inc. announces it has been selected by SpaceWERX for a Direct-to-Phase II contract, in the amount of $1.9M, focused on demonstrating a fusion PNT (position, navigation and timing) of quantum and optical synchronization of clock ensembles to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF). Working with partners Luminous Cyber Corporation and Eritek Inc., the team recently completed Preliminary Design Review (PDR).

To promote the use of quantum sensors in industry, Fraunhofer IAF has developed a virtual application laboratory for quantum sensing. This innovative information platform provides comprehensive technical knowledge about quantum magnetometers, applications, and measurement scenarios. It also allows interested parties from industry and research to interactively perform sample measurements and assess the potential of this groundbreaking technology for their needs.

QuSecure, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), today announced it has been selected by AFWERX for a $1.23M Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract focused on Quantum-Resilient Encryption to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).

BTQ Technologies Corp. (the "Company"), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Future Quantum Convergence Forum ("FQCF"), the Quantum Industrial Standard Association ("QuINSA"), and the Future Quantum Convergence Institute ("QCI"). This collaboration represents a significant step toward fostering global innovation and cooperation in quantum technologies.

Whether beer, coffee beans, yogurt or lubricating oil: A device small enough to fit into one hand can measure the shelf life of substances. The idea: To bring this technology to the food industry. As a start-up, this spin-off from the University of Stuttgart will receive funding from the EXIST research transfer program of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK).

Atlantic Quantum, in collaboration with Professor Kevin P. O’Brien at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Quantum Coherent Electronics (QCE) group, announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Phase II STTR grant in the amount of $1.8 million focused on developing utility-scale superconducting quantum computers to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
