Latest Quantum Computing Post
The week ending November 22, 2025, delivered a powerful surge of advancements in quantum computing demanding your attention—from Hong Kong deploying the city’s first chip-based quantum network to IBM and Cisco unveiling plans for a distributed, fault-tolerant quantum infrastructure. Funding accelerated, hardware reached new milestones, and post-quantum defenses hardened. These developments aren’t hype; they’re the building blocks of the next computing era. Here’s the full summary you can’t afford to miss.

Measuring Your Quantum Computer’s Scale, Quality, and Speed IBM’s Way
Driving quantum performance: more qubits, higher Quantum Volume, and now a proper measure of speed Today, we propose a quantum metric we call Circuit Layer Operations Per Second, or CLOPS. Summary Quality, Speed, and Scale: three key attributes to measure the performance of near-term quantum
Quantum Frontiers: Quantum Estuary
A conference talk served as a polished shell, reflecting light almost as a mirror. The talk centered on erasure, a process that unites thermodynamics with information processing: Imagine performing computations in math class. You need blank paper (or the neurological equivalent) on which to scribble. Upon computing a great deal, you have to erase the paper—to reset it to a clean state. Erasing calls for rubbing an eraser across the paper and so for expending energy. This conclusion extends beyond math class and paper: To compute—or otherwise process information—for a long time, we have to erase information-storage systems and so to expend energy. This conclusion renders erasure sacred to us thermodynamicists who study information processing. Erasure litters our papers, conferences, and conversations.

Rigetti Awarded U.S. Department of Energy Contract to Develop Quantum Simulation for Fusion Energy
Rigetti Computing, a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing, has been selected to lead a quantum simulation project for fusion energy awarded by the Department of Energy (DoE). Rigetti will collaborate with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Southern California on the three-year, $3.1 million project that will simulate plasma dynamics on Rigetti’s cloud-based quantum computers.
Q-CTRL, University of Sydney Tackle Error Supression in Quantum Computers
A Sydney-based start-up, Q-CTRL, has released the results of its algorithmic benchmarking experiments, which demonstrate massively improved performance of quantum computers when an error suppression technique is applied. The technique achieved an improvement of over 2,500 per cent.
Atom Computing Brings Two Heavy-Hitters Onto Their Team, Each With A Fierce Belief in the Power of Quantum Computing
— Atom Computing, a quantum computing start-up obsessed with helping companies and researchers reach their next big breakthrough, today announces two new quantum veterans joining, Denise Ruffner as Chief Business Officer and Justin Ging as Chief Product Officer. Denise and Justin round out Atom Computing’s leadership team of technical and industry experts including CEO Rob Hays, Founder & CTO Ben Bloom, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist Jonathan King, Chief Control Systems Engineer Robin Coxe, and Marketing Communications Director Ashley Kusowski. Together, they will drive the company’s commercialization of Phoenix, a 100-qubit quantum system, and quantum solutions roadmap.
