Arthur Herman: It’s All Part of a Strategy of Slowing China’s Advances in the High-Tech Sector
The United States may be poised to open a new front in its effort to block China’s access to our high-tech base, namely quantum computing.
Switzerland Enters Quantum Partnership With U.S.
QIST has the potential to revolutionize many areas of science and technology through the creation of quantum computers that outperform traditional computers at certain tasks, quantum networks for transmitting and distributing quantum information, and ultra-sensitive quantum sensors.
Arthur Herman: The Quantum Space Race Is Here
[I]t was China that launched the first quantum satellite in 2016, dubbed Micius, and a year later used it to establish how to achieve long-distance QKD communication… So where is the U.S. in all this?
SA QuTI: So That We Can Be Part of the Quantum Revolution
Following on a proposal written by the consortium led by Professor Andrew Forbes from the Wits School of Physics, the DSI committed the first tranche of funding up until March 2025 to set up SA QuTI. It involves establishing quantum nodes at five centres… and eventually increasing the number of active centres across the country by finding and supporting new emerging quantum leaders.
From Down-Under to Over-The-Top, Aussie Roadmap Provides Vision for Unlocking the Potential of Emerging Quantum Technologies, Capturing a $6B Opportunity
Commercialising quantum technologies could create an Australian industry worth $2.2 billion and 8,700 jobs by 2030. This could reach nearly $6 billion and 19,400 jobs by 2045. Australia has world-class quantum research capabilities and an emerging quantum technology industry underpinned by the expertise and IP developed in its research institutions.
China’s Quantum Computing Research Faces New Challenges
[N]ew wave of rules bans companies from selling advanced computer chips used in AI or supercomputing produced using U.S. technology or machinery to China.
Can’t Have Too Many: CERN Proposes Open Quantum Institute
CERN has joined a coalition of science and industry partners proposing the creation of an Open Quantum Institute.
The Quantum Internet Alliance Will Build an Advanced European Quantum Internet Ecosystem
The European Commission has selected ‘quantum internet’ as a strategic area for investment to build a global quantum internet made in Europe.
For Better or for Worse: Global Overlord Ambitions Could Demand Quantum Computing Technology for “Sustainable Development Goals”
Advances in quantum computing technology have such broad applicability in the long term that they could positively impact all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
