Oxford Ionics Kicks Off International Expansion With New US Office
Oxford Ionics Kicks Off International Expansion With New US Office
Oxford Ionics, a leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, today announced it has opened its first international office in Boulder, Colorado. With demand for quantum computers reaching new heights, the new office will serve as a critical base for its expansion into North America.
US-Japanese Partnership Approaches an Atomic Clock Breakthrough
US-Japanese Partnership Approaches an Atomic Clock Breakthrough
Thrasher is working with Japanese tech company Nichia Corporation to build the world’s most accurate compact atomic clock. These clocks, currently about the size of a matchbook, are used in a variety of technologies from backpack radios, GPS receivers, underwater sensors, power grids and satellites. Any drift they experience limits the time these technologies can run on their own without help from a reference clock.

Today, the chip of Switzerland's first physical, commercially viable quantum computer arrived in Switzerland. This marks a significant milestone for Switzerland and strengthens the role of QuantumBasel, an uptownBasel Group company, as a neutral quantum hub and international innovation ecosystem.
IonQ Delivers First Overseas Ion Trap to Switzerland, Progressing Development of Quantum Innovation Hub for EMEA
IonQ Delivers First Overseas Ion Trap to Switzerland, Progressing Development of Quantum Innovation Hub for EMEA
IonQ today announced the delivery of its innovative ion trap to its European quantum data center in QuantumBasel. The delivery marks an important milestone in the manufacturing of the company’s most powerful and scalable system – IonQ Forte Enterprise – which will scale to 35 algorithmic qubits (#AQ) and be capable of considering more than 34 billion different possibilities simultaneously.
Researchers Develop General Framework for Designing Quantum Sensors
Researchers Develop General Framework for Designing Quantum Sensors
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have designed a protocol for harnessing the power of quantum sensors. The protocol could give sensor designers the ability to fine-tune quantum systems to sense signals of interest, creating sensors that are vastly more sensitive than traditional sensors.
Combining Trapped Atoms and Photonics for New Quantum Devices
Combining Trapped Atoms and Photonics for New Quantum Devices
Now, researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have discovered how to combine two powerful technologies—trapped atom arrays and photonic devices—to yield advanced systems for quantum computing, simulation and networking. The new combination will allow the construction of large quantum systems which can be easily scaled up, by leveraging photonics to interconnect individual atom arrays.
Quantinuum and the UK’s Hartree Centre Have Entered Into a Collaboration in the Field of Quantum Computing
Quantinuum has signed a Joint Statement of Endeavour with the STFC Hartree Centre. The partnership will provide UK industrial and scientific users access to Quantinuum’s H-Series trapped-ion quantum computers via the cloud and on-premise.

Fast and Faithful Quantum Measurements of Electron Spin Qubits
Fast and Faithful Quantum Measurements of Electron Spin Qubits
A method for rapidly and precisely measuring the quantum state of electrons in a silicon device could help scale up quantum computers.
German Scientists Have Demonstrated, for the First Time, the Detection of Magnetic Fields Using a Two-Dimensional Array of Ultracold Atoms
Recently, a team at the Technical University Darmstadt in Germany has demonstrated for the first time a magnetometer based on a two-dimensional array of ultracold atoms with superior spatial resolution compared to classical devices. In this study, scientists trapped rubidium atoms in a square array with a width of 0.2 millimeters. They found that when this system is exposed to a magnetic field, it can detect spatial variations in the magnetic field, as each atom of the array acts as a separate sensor.
