INOX Group, a diversified Indian conglomerate, and Indian Institute of Science (IISc), India’s premier scientific research institution, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for setting up of INOX Quantum Materials Lab. The Lab would come up at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering facility at IISc. The Lab is set to focus on the development of topological semiconductors, a critical material for achieving fault-tolerant quantum computing, which will enable the creation of robust and error-resistant quantum states, which holds key to the future of Quantum technology.

In a new initiative, Zurich Instruments has teamed up with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Withwave, and Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) to enhance the performance and market-readiness of quantum-limited amplification technology. The strategic partnership aims to elevate the capabilities of traveling-wave parametric amplifiers (TWPAs), which are essential for the precise readout of qubits and the scaling up of quantum computing technologies.

Engineers at U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory developed the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, a product that combines a radio frequency board with control and readout hardware and open source software to control it. QICK is being used increasingly in the scientific community, with over 300 users worldwide. Now, a multidisciplinary team at Fermilab, including engineers and business and technology transfer experts, wants to market a new product, a companion board called the “QICK box.”

In the “Cluster4Future” QSens of the Universities of Stuttgart and Ulm, scientists, companies and start-ups are researching quantum sensors with a wide range of potential applications. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding QSens for a further three years as part of “Clusters4Future”.

QuantX Labs, an Australian medium-sized company proudly announces the landmark first sales of its state-of-the-art optical atomic clocks. The company recently signed two contracts with Commonwealth of Australia represented by Department of Defence totalling over $2.7 million.

Mesa Quantum announces it has been selected by SpaceWERX for a Direct-to Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant in the amount of $1.9M focused on miniaturized atomic clocks for alternative Positioning, Navigation, & Timing (PNT) to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
