HSBC announced today that it has successfully trialled the first application of quantum-secure technology for buying and selling tokenized physical gold. This achievement marks the latest step by HSBC in pioneering the protection of critical applications from potential future quantum computing attacks.

QC Design has achieved a GPU-acceleration breakthrough in Plaquette, its state-of-the-art software for designing and optimizing fault tolerance architectures. By collaborating with NVIDIA to integrate the NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK, Plaquette now leverages the cuTensorNet library to perform high-performance, full-state simulations of fault-tolerant quantum circuits. This advancement dramatically enhances fault-tolerant design, enabling simulations at unprecedented scale and performance.

Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT), a pioneering quantum hardware startup, has opened a new office in College Park, Maryland to strengthen its research and development capabilities and accelerate its commercialization efforts in the United States.
